Question 6

Write a program that encodes a word into Piglatin. To translate word into Piglatin word, convert the word into uppercase and then place the first vowel of the original word as the start of the new word along with the remaining alphabets. The alphabets present before the vowel being shifted towards the end followed by "AY".

Sample Input 1: London
Output: ONDONLAY

Sample Input 2: Olympics
Output: OLYMPICSAY

Answer
import java.util.Scanner;

public class KboatPigLatin
{
    public static void main(String args[]) {

        Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.print("Enter word: ");
        String word = in.next();
        int len = word.length();

        word=word.toUpperCase();
        String piglatin="";
        int flag=0;
        
        for(int i = 0; i < len; i++)
        {
            char x = word.charAt(i);
            if(x=='A' || x=='E' || x=='I' || x=='O' || x=='U')
            {
                piglatin=word.substring(i) + word.substring(0,i) + "AY";
                flag=1;
                break;
            }
        }
        
        if(flag == 0)
        {
            piglatin = word + "AY";
        }
        System.out.println(word + " in Piglatin format is " + piglatin);
    }
}
