hi! can anyone solve this string-array problem or give me just an example about it

  • Write a program that converts a sentence input by the user into pig latin. You can assume
    that the sentence contains no punctuation. The rules for pig latin are as follows:

a) For words that begin with consonants, move the leading consonant to the end of the word
and add “ay”. Thus, “ball” becomes “allbay”; “button” becomes “uttonbay”; and so
forth.
b) For words that begin with vowels, add “way” to the end. Thus “all” becomes “allway”,
“one” becomes “oneway”; and so forth

I'll do it like this:
Have a function that returns how many words are in a line, i.e. counts the number of spaces.
Have a boolean function that checks if a string starts with a vowel or not
Tokenize the entire line.
Split the line into words.
Check each word if starts with a vowel or not.
Do the proper modification to the strings acordingly:

int spaces(string line)
    spaces<-number of words from a
end_spaces

boolean isVowel(string word)
    if a starts_with('a' || 'e' || 'i' || 'o' || 'u') then
        isVowel<-true
    else
        isVowel<-false
    end_if
end_boolean

subalg main
    line<-input
    tokenize(line)
    for i=0 to spaces(line) do
        part<-split(line, ' ')
        if isVowel(part) then
            part.append("way")
        else
            part.append(part[0])
            erase part[0]
            part.append("ay")
        end_if
        @store part in a container for a later access to the elements.
    end_for
end_main

thanks for your shared time, but I'm a beginner in C++ your written answer is a bit hard to understand. would you please make it simple for me?

It also handles the punctuation characters, and upper/lower case ones, in general, not taken to extreme...
Note that is done in "hurry", and it's kinda raw, but you got the point.
