So why is my solution wrong? (Sorry, I can’t use links) /javascript-algorithms-and-data-structures/intermediate-algorithm-scripting/pig-latin

Your code so far


function translatePigLatin(str) {
  let re =/^([^aeiouy])+/i;
  let temp = str.match(re);
  if(temp) {
    let newStr = str.replace(re,'');
    str = newStr + temp[0]+'ay';
  } else {
    str = str+'way';
  }
  return str;
}

translatePigLatin("consonant");

your code should be general it accept all test case your code seems specific

In the case of the Pig Latin challenge, ‘y’ is not considered a vowel.

Oh thanks. It explains everything

Research the use of {1,} as you need to match a string of consonants and not just the first consonant.
Hope this helps.

{1,} in regex-land is usually written as +
