function translatePigLatin(str) {
function check(obj) {
return ['a','i','u','e','o'].indexOf(str.charAt(obj)) == -1 ? check(obj + 1) : obj;
}
return str.substr(check(0)).concat((check(0) === 0 ? 'w' : str.substr(0, check(0))) + 'ay');
}
// test here
translatePigLatin("consonant");
### Code Explanation:
* This is a declarative as well as recursive approach to this problem.
* `check()` is a function which checks for first letter of string to be in the array of vowels, `['a','i','u','e','o']`.
* In case of consonants, `check()` calls itself on the next characters until finding the first vowel.
* It'll return the index of whatever it finds to be the last initial consonant i.e., Schmidtsville's would be 3.
* Then, letters up until that index are removed from the string and concatenated with either that same chunk of removed string or **w** accordingly, and then **ay** regardless.
