Tell us what’s happening:
from what I gathered on the forum posts if a word like rhythm is used, the y doesn’t count as a vowel. so you need to return the word plus way at the end. I tried to do that with the last else statement but it doesn’t pass the
Your code so far
function translatePigLatin(str) {
let answer = '';
let regex1 = /[a|i|e|o|u]/;
if (str.startsWith('a') || str.startsWith('e') || str.startsWith('i') || str.startsWith('o') || str.startsWith('u')) {
answer = str + "way";
} else if(regex1.test(str)===true){
let vowelIndex = str.indexOf(str.match(regex1)[0]);
console.log(str.match(regex1));
answer = str.substr(vowelIndex) + str.substr(0, vowelIndex) + 'ay';
} else {
answer = str + 'way'
}
return answer;
}
translatePigLatin("consonant");
