Complete solution for PigLatin challenge

Code explanation

Let’s understand the workings of each code block in the above widget.

The PigLatin file

The source files are located in the src folder under the path: main/java/com/manipulator.

The code is a Java class called PigLatin that performs Pig Latin word conversion. Here's an explanation of how it works:

  • Lines 7–8: The class has two instance variables:  

    •  toCapitalize: A boolean flag to determine if the first letter should be capitalized in the output   

    • convertedWord: A string to store the converted Pig Latin word

  • Lines 10–13: We define the convertToPigLatin() method as the main function responsible for converting English words to Pig Latin. It takes a single argument, word, which is the input word to be converted. If the input word is null or empty, it returns an empty string.

  • Lines 15–20: The method checks if the first character of the input word is a digit (number). If it is, the method simply returns the word without modification, as numbers are not converted to Pig Latin.

  • Lines 21–23: ...
