word input codes in matlab
显示 更早的评论
how to write a function that receives a word as input and returns a pig Latin translation of the word. Both the input word and the pig Latin word are character arrays. The pig Latin translation involves first determining if the input word begins with a vowel (a, e, i, o, or u). If so, append 'way' to form the pig Latin translation. If the input word does not begin with a vowel, then form the pig Latin translation by moving the first letter to the end of the word and then appending 'ay'. I also want to include a help option, so when the user types in "help" they get my pre written message

Hi Charlotte, is this a homework question? Did you try some code and struck somewhere?

Sure. That's good. Show till what you tried and that can be helped when struck. For some insights to get started look at this page https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/functions.html

Hi Charlotte,
Here is how you can perform this. Since you need to check if the first letter of the input word is vowel or not, you can use strcmp and strcmpi functions.
As you written the text already, i am just showing the way you can code it as below:
function out = pigLatinTranslation(word)
% Check if the first letter of the word is vowel or not
if any(strcmpi(word(1),{'a','e','i','o','u'}))
out = [word 'way']; % Append 'way' to the word
else
out = [word(2:end) word(1) 'ay']; % Place the starting letter at the end and append the 'ay'
end
end
This when tried as:
>> pigLatinTranslation('pple')
ans =
'plepay'
>> pigLatinTranslation('apple')
ans =
'appleway'
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Sriram

Simpler with ismember:
if ismember(word(1),'aeiouAEIOU')

Run it by passing a word to the function as provided in the answer.

Sure.. Then update the above as such:
function out = pigLatinTranslation
word = input('Enter a word:','s');
... % Then continue with the other commands in the answers
% In the if condition, you could even use what Stephen as suggested
end
Hope this helps.

Now use it directly with function name word2piglatin without any inputs

In the command window, directly run
>> word2piglatin
% This will prompt you to enter a word, then provide any character vector and then press enter
% you will get the output
