Hi campers,
I need your guidance. I have been working on the algorithm challenge “Pig Latin” today and I thought I had resolved this, but when I tested it on FCC, my solution didn’t pass the following test: Should handle words without vowels.
Could you look at my code and help me out? I assume the words without vowels would just have “ay” appended as the first half of the word, but maybe I am wrong.
Thanks in advance for your help
Your code so far*
function translatePigLatin(str) {
let firstVowelIndex= str.search(/[aeiou]/);
let firstConsonant = str.split("")[0];
let noVowels = /^[^aeyiuo]+$/.test(str);
let firstLetter = str.split("")[firstVowelIndex];
let firstHalf = str.split("").slice(0, firstVowelIndex).join("");
let secondHalf = str.split("").slice(firstVowelIndex).join("");
let lastLetter = str.split("")[str.length -1];
if (/[aeiou]/.test(str.split("")[0])) {
return str + "way";
}
else if (noVowels) {
return str + "ay";
}
else {
return secondHalf + firstHalf + "ay";
}
}
translatePigLatin("consonant");
