I wrote this code, which should translate a lower case english phrase into pig latin.
package main
import (
"fmt"
"strings"
"bufio"
"github.com/stretchr/stew/slice"
"regexp"
"os"
)
func main() {
lst := []string{"sh", "gl", "ch", "ph", "tr", "br", "fr", "bl", "gr", "st", "sl", "cl", "pl", "fl", "th"}
reader := bufio.NewReader(os.Stdin)
fmt.Print("Type what you would like translated into pig-latin and press ENTER: ")
sentenceraw, _ := reader.ReadString('\n')
sentence := strings.Split(sentenceraw, " ")
isAlpha := regexp.MustCompile(`^[A-Za-z]+$`).MatchString
newsentence := make([]string, 0)
for _, i := range sentence {
if slice.Contains([]byte{'a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u'}, i[0]) {
newsentence = append(newsentence, strings.Join([]string{string(i), "ay"}, ""))
} else if slice.Contains(lst, string(i[0])+string(i[1])) {
newsentence = append(newsentence, strings.Join([]string{string(i[2:]), string(i[:2]), "ay"}, ""))
} else if !isAlpha(string(i)) {
newsentence = append(newsentence, strings.Join([]string{string(i)}, ""))
} else {
newsentence = append(newsentence, strings.Join([]string{string(i[1:]), string(i[0]), "ay"}, ""))
}
}
fmt.Println(strings.Join(newsentence, " "))
}
However, it fails to do anything to the last word in the phrase.
If I use the sentence "the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog"
I get "ethay uickqay ownbray oxfay umpedjay overay ethay azylay dog"
Everything here is right, except the last word! why doesn't it work?
The same thing happens if I use "hello world" as my phrase.
Package bufio
func (*Reader) ReadString
func (b *Reader) ReadString(delim byte) (string, error)
ReadString reads until the first occurrence of delim in the input,
returning a string containing the data up to and including the
delimiter. If ReadString encounters an error before finding a
delimiter, it returns the data read before the error and the error
itself (often io.EOF). ReadString returns err != nil if and only if
the returned data does not end in delim.
returning a string containing the data up to and including the
delimiter.
Get rid of any trailing newlines: "\n"
or "\r\n"
. For a quick fix, write:
sentence := strings.Split(strings.TrimSpace(sentenceraw), " ")
For example,
package main
import (
"bufio"
"fmt"
"os"
"regexp"
"strings"
"github.com/stretchr/stew/slice"
)
func main() {
lst := []string{"sh", "gl", "ch", "ph", "tr", "br", "fr", "bl", "gr", "st", "sl", "cl", "pl", "fl", "th"}
reader := bufio.NewReader(os.Stdin)
fmt.Print("Type what you would like translated into pig-latin and press ENTER: ")
sentenceraw, _ := reader.ReadString('\n')
sentence := strings.Split(strings.TrimSpace(sentenceraw), " ")
isAlpha := regexp.MustCompile(`^[A-Za-z]+$`).MatchString
newsentence := make([]string, 0)
for _, i := range sentence {
if slice.Contains([]byte{'a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u'}, i[0]) {
newsentence = append(newsentence, strings.Join([]string{string(i), "ay"}, ""))
} else if slice.Contains(lst, string(i[0])+string(i[1])) {
newsentence = append(newsentence, strings.Join([]string{string(i[2:]), string(i[:2]), "ay"}, ""))
} else if !isAlpha(string(i)) {
newsentence = append(newsentence, strings.Join([]string{string(i)}, ""))
} else {
newsentence = append(newsentence, strings.Join([]string{string(i[1:]), string(i[0]), "ay"}, ""))
}
}
fmt.Println(strings.Join(newsentence, " "))
}
Output:
Type what you would like translated into pig-latin and press ENTER: hello world
