/* Pig Latin is an argot ("secret" language) in which words in English are altered to conceal the words from others not familiar with the rules. You convert a word to pig latin by transferring the initial consonant or consonant cluster of the word to the end of the word with -ay appended to the end. If the word starts with a vowel (including y), append -yay to the end. For example, "pig" would become igpay (taking the 'p' and 'ay' to create a suffix). Examples: Input: say Output: aysay Input: english Output: englishyay Input: smile Output: ilesmay In my example you can give a complete sentence for translating into Pig Latin. If a word started with a capital then the Pig Latin word will also start with a capital. Example: Hello my name is Uther Pendragon Result: Ellohay ymay amenay isyay Utheryay Endragonpya Have fun!! */ // C++ header files #include #include // C++ namespaces using namespace std; // Declare class for translating English into Pig Latin class CPigLatinTranslator { // Use standard constructor // // Public class function declarations public: // Funtion for translating sentence in English into Pig Latin string EnglishToPigLatin(const string & str_Translate) const; // Private class function declarations private: // Funtion for splitting the input sentence is separate words string StringSplitter(const string & str_StringToSplit) const; // Function for determine if a character is a Pig Lating vowles bool IsCharVowel(const char &c_Check) const; }; // Global function for checking if there are no symbols in given string static bool sb_CheckForNonLetters(string& str_CheckNonLetter) { // Loop for going throug all the characters in given string for (unsigned long unlPos = 0; unlPos < str_CheckNonLetter.length(); unlPos++) { /* Is char not in the range of the lower or upper case alphabetical characters and char isn't a space?
