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

I found that site and got the help sentence coded, but I'm confused on how to actually make the commands for the vowels vs nonvowels and how they'll code

@Charlotte Reed: you could do this using indexing, ismember, and if. Give it a try!

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

How would the code have to change for a phrase and wanting to translate it into pig latin?
