Describe your issue in detail here.
I would be grateful if someone could help me with the Pig Latin challenge.
It was passing the first 6 out of 7 criteria, but I had not considered words containing no vowels (i.e. “rhythm”).
I then went back and added lines 3 and 4 to account for this no-vowels scenario. But now I get the following error:
“TypeError: Cannot read property ‘join’ of null”
It must be something to do with lines 3 & 4. I’m sure it’s something quite simple but I can’t seem to figure it out.
I’m still quite new to coding and it’s probably something basic. But would appreciate some help.
Thank you
**Your code so far**
function translatePigLatin(str) {
// if string contains no vowels
if (str.match(/[aeiou]/i) == false) {
return str + "ay"
// else if string starts with consonants
} else if (str.match(/^[^aeiou]+/i)) {
var newSuffix = str.match(/^[^aeiou]+/i);
var newPrefix = str.match(/[aeiou]+[\w]*$/i);
return newPrefix.join() + newSuffix.join() + "ay";
// else string starts with vowels
} else {
return str.concat("way")
}
}
console.log(translatePigLatin("rhythm"));
