ICSE 2013 Paper Solved (Piglatin Word)

Write a program that encodes a word into Piglatin. To translate a word into a Piglatin word, convert the word into uppercase and then place the first vowel of the original word as the start of the new word along with the remaining alphabets. The alphabets present before the vowel being shifted towards the end followed by “AY”.
Sample Input (1) : London, Sample Output (1) : ONDONLAY
Sample Input (2) : Olympics, Sample Output (2) : OLYMPICSAY

import java.io.*;

class Piglatin

    {

    public static void main(String args[])throws IOException

        {

            BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader(System.in));

            System.out.print("Enter any word: ");

            String s=br.readLine();

 

            s=s.toUpperCase(); //converting the word into Uppercase

            int l=s.length();

            int pos=-1;

            char ch;

 

            for(int i=0; i<l; i++)

            {

                ch=s.charAt(i);

                if(ch=='A' || ch=='E' || ch=='I' || ch=='O' || ch=='U')

                {

                    pos=i; //storing the index of the first vowel

                    break;

                }

            }

 

            if(pos!=-1) //printing piglatin only if vowel exists

            {

              String a=s.substring(pos); //extracting all alphabets in the word beginning from the 1st vowel

              String b=s.substring(0,pos); //extracting the alphabets present before the first vowel

              String pig=a+b+"AY"; //adding "AY" at the end of the extracted words after joining them

              System.out.println("The Piglatin of the word = "+pig);

            }

            else

              System.out.println("No vowel, hence piglatin not possible");

        }

    }




Output:

Enter any word: London
The Piglatin of the word = ONDONLAY
Enter any word: Olympics
The Piglatin of the word = OLYMPICSAY
