Pig Latin

Pig Latin is a game of alterations played on words. To make the Pig Latin form of an English word the initial consonant sound is transposed to the end of the word and an “ay” is affixed. Specifically there are two rules:

(a) If a word begins with a vowel, append “yay” to the end of the word.

(b) If a word begins with a consonant, remove all the consonants from the beginning up to the first vowel and append them to the end of the word. Finally, append “ay” to the end of the word.

For example:

• dog ⇒ ogday

• scratch ⇒ atchscray

• is ⇒ isyay

• Apple ⇒ appleyay

Write a program that repeatedly prompts for an English word to translate into Pig Latin and prints the translated word. If the user enters a period, halt the program.

Hints:

• Slicing is your friend: it can pick off the first character for checking, and you can slice off pieces and concatenate to yield the new word.

• Making a string of vowels allows use of the in operator: vowels = 'aeiou'.
