# Pig Latin
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Implement a program that translates from English to Pig Latin
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Pig Latin is a made-up children's language that's intended to be
|
||
|
|
confusing. It obeys a few simple rules (below), but when it's spoken
|
||
|
|
quickly it's really difficult for non-children (and non-native speakers)
|
||
|
|
to understand.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- **Rule 1**: If a word begins with a vowel sound, add an "ay" sound to
|
||
|
|
the end of the word.
|
||
|
|
- **Rule 2**: If a word begins with a consonant sound, move it to the
|
||
|
|
end of the word, and then add an "ay" sound to the end of the word.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are a few more rules for edge cases, and there are regional
|
||
|
|
variants too.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pig_latin> for more details.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To run the tests simply run the command `go test` in the exercise directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If the test suite contains benchmarks, you can run these with the `-bench`
|
||
|
|
flag:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
go test -bench .
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
