Question

Pig Latin is a language game in which words in English are altered. The objective is to conceal the words from others not familiar with the rules. The reference to Latin is a deliberate misnomer, as it is simply a form of jargon, used only for its English connotations as a strange and foreign-sounding language.[1]

To translate a word into Pig Latin, move all letters up to, but not including the first vowel (a,e,i,o,u), to the end of the word and append the -ay suffix.

Pig to igpay

Latin to atinlay

School to oolschay

In to inay

Out to outay

Yes to esyay

STOP and THINK BEFORE YOU CODE.

Write a function in matlab that translates a string of English words to a string of Pig Latin words.

Explanation / Answer

CODE

%pig_latin.m file

function [new_string] = pig_latin(str)
new_string = '';
ay = 'ay';
words = strsplit(str,' ');
wordLength = length(words);
for k = 1 : wordLength
eachWord = words{k};
first_vowel = eachWord(find(ismember(eachWord,'aeiou'),1,'first'));
vowel_ind = strfind(eachWord, first_vowel);
   if vowel_ind >= 2
       % start new word at vowel index
       new_word_arr{k} = [eachWord(vowel_ind:end), eachWord(1:vowel_ind-1), ay, ' '];
   else
       % add 'ay' if word starts with vowel
       new_word_arr{k} = [eachWord, ay, ' '];
   end
end
% celldisp(new_word_arr);
% String cells together to form the output character array.
new_string = [new_word_arr{:}];

% demo.m file

disp(pig_latin('engineers rule the world'));
