## Description
|
||||
|
||||
<section id='description'>
|
||||
|
||||
Soundex is an algorithm for creating indices for words based on their pronunciation.
|
||||
The goal is for homophones to be encoded to the same representation so that they can be matched despite minor differences in spelling (from <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/soundex" target="_blank">the WP article</a>).
|
||||
There is a major issue in many of the implementations concerning the separation of two consonants that have the same soundex code! According to the <a href="https://www.archives.gov/research/census/soundex.html" target="_blank">official Rules</a>. So check for instance if <b>Ashcraft</b> is coded to <b>A-261</b>.
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>If a vowel (A, E, I, O, U) separates two consonants that have the same soundex code, the consonant to the right of the vowel is coded. Tymczak is coded as T-522 (T, 5 for the M, 2 for the C, Z ignored (see "Side-by-Side" rule above), 2 for the K). Since the vowel "A" separates the Z and K, the K is coded.</li>
|
||||
<li>If "H" or "W" separate two consonants that have the same soundex code, the consonant to the right of the vowel is not coded. Example: Ashcraft is coded A-261 (A, 2 for the S, C ignored, 6 for the R, 1 for the F). It is not coded A-226.</li>
|
||||
</ul>

## Instructions

|
||||
<section id='instructions'>
|
||||
Write a function that takes a string as a parameter and returns the encoded string.
