Question

JAVA PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE!!!!

Pig Latin

Write a program that reads a sentence as input and converts each word to "Pig Latin". In one version of Pig Latin, you convert a word by removing the first letter, placing that letter at the end of the word, and then appending "ay" to the word. Here is an example:

English:                       I SLEPT MOST OF THE NIGHT

Pig Latin :                   TAY LEPTSAY OSTMAY FOÀY HETAY 1GHTNAY

Here is the completed code for the two classes. Comments are included, go through it, learn how things work and let me know if you have any doubts or if you need anything to change. If you are satisfied with the solution, please rate the answer. Thanks

//English.java (interact with the user)

import java.util.Scanner;

public class English {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        // setting up a Scanner

        Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);

        String ch = "y";

        // /looping until user chooses to quit

        while (ch.equalsIgnoreCase("y")) {

             // asking and reading a sentence in English

             System.out.print("Enter a sentence in English (space separated): ");

             String sentence = scanner.nextLine().toUpperCase();

             // displaying the read sentence and the corresponding translation in

             // pig latin

             System.out.println("English:   " + sentence);

             System.out.println("Pig Latin: " + PigLatinator.convert(sentence));

            

             //asking user if he/she likes to convert another sentence

             System.out.print("\nDo you want to convert another? (y/n) ");

             ch = scanner.nextLine();

             System.out.println();

        }

    }

}

//PigLatinator.java (contains method to convert english to pig latin)

public class PigLatinator {

    /**

    *

    * @param text

    *            sentence containing space seperated list of words

    *         separated

    */

    public static String convert(String text) {

        // converting text to upper case and splitting by space

        String words[] = text.toUpperCase().split(" ");

        // defining an empty string

        String converted = "";

        // looping through each word

        for (int i = 0; i < words.length; i++) {

             // ensuring that word isnt empty

             if (words[i].length() > 0) {

                 // taking out a substring containing string without first

                 // letter, appending first letter at the end, followed by 'AY'

                 String piglatin = words[i].substring(1) + words[i].charAt(0)

                         + "AY";

                 // appending to converted text followed by a space

                 converted += piglatin + " ";

             }

        }

        return converted.trim();

    }

}
