*Intermediate Algorithm Scripting: Pig Latin

JavaScript
#1

Tell us what’s happening:

How may I get replaced only the first consonant or first consonants group in a string, save it and set in the end of a string.

Your code so far


function translatePigLatin(str) {
let consonantRegex =  /[bcdfghjklmnpqrstvwxys]/gi
let replacedConsonants=str.replace(consonantRegex, '')

console.log(replacedConsonants)
}

translatePigLatin("consonant");

if you use the g flag the replace method would replace everything, if you don’t use it only first occurrence will be replaced

you could take a look at documentation, like at the part Switching words in strings

I have captured c, but I want to set it at the end of osonant plus “ay”.

function translatePigLatin(str) {

let regEx=/([bcd-fgh-klmn-pqrst-vwxyz])/i

console.log(str.replace(regEx, '$1,'))

   
}

translatePigLatin("consonant");

I just need to finish 2 tests:

translatePigLatin("algorithm") should return “algorithmway”.

translatePigLatin("eight") should return “eightway”.

May I do this with regex or is it neccesary build a new condition?

function translatePigLatin(str) {
  
  let regex=/(.[^aeiou]*)([aeiou]*)(.*)|([aeiou]*)(.^[aeiou]*)(.*)/i

  let replacedStr=str.replace(regex, "$2$3$1ay");
  
  console.log(replacedStr)

  return replacedStr;
}

translatePigLatin("algorithm");

//let regex=/(.[^aeiou]*)([aeiou]*)(.*)/i;

 //let replacedStr=str.replace(regex, "$2$3$1ay");

It is done!

function translatePigLatin(str) {
  
  let regexConsonants=/(.[^aeiou]*)([aeiou]*)(.*)|([aeiou]*)(.[^aeiou]*)(.+)/i

  let replacedConsonantStr=str.replace(regexConsonants, "$2$3$1ay");
  
  let replacedVowelsStr=str.replace(/(.+)/i,"$1way")
  //console.log(replacedConsonantStr)

  
      

     
if(str.startsWith('a')|str.startsWith('e')|str.startsWith('i')|str.startsWith('o')|str.startsWith('u')){
             
             return replacedVowelsStr;
}else{
              return replacedConsonantStr;
}

}

translatePigLatin("algorithm");

//let regex=/(.[^aeiou]*)([aeiou]*)(.*)/i;

 //let replacedStr=str.replace(regex, "$2$3$1ay");

Thanks for your time!
