Hi guys, What I have here is more of a logic problem that I can't get my head around than a programming problem. I am trying to program an English to Pig Latin translator. I've got the English to Pig Latin part down and its working great.
The part I am having difficulty with is the Pig Latin to English part. Say I have the word ellohay (hello) which I wish to convert into English. The first thing I am doing is removing the added ay at the end and the new word becomes elloh. This is where I have the problem. I have to somehow identify which letters to remove from the end and add back to the front of the word (i.e. h needs to be removed and added back to the front). However with a word such as string which translates as ingstray, when we remove the ay we are left with ingstr, and need to identify that str needs to be removed and added back on the front. I am lost as to how to identify which characters need to be removed to be re-added to the front and can't find a common rule to program by. There are translators out there already like this, so it works somehow, I just need a push in the right direction i think [image: :)] Thanks
