pig_latin

Instructions

Write a function that transforms a string passed as argument in its Pig Latin version.

The rules used by Pig Latin are the following:

• If a word begins with a vowel, just add "ay" to the end.
• If it begins with a consonant, then we take all consonants before the first vowel and we put them on the end of the word and add "ay" at the end.
• If a word starts with a consonant followed by "qu", move it to the end of the word, and then add an "ay" at the end.

Notions

• https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch18-00-patterns.html

Expected functions

pub fn pig_latin(text: &str) -> String {}

Usage

Here is a program to test your function.

use pig_latin::pig_latin;

fn main() {
    println!("{}", pig_latin(&String::from("igloo")));
    println!("{}", pig_latin(&String::from("apple")));
    println!("{}", pig_latin(&String::from("hello")));
    println!("{}", pig_latin(&String::from("square")));
    println!("{}", pig_latin(&String::from("xenon")));
    println!("{}", pig_latin(&String::from("chair")));
}
