function translatePigLatin(str) {
if (str.match(/^[aeiou]/)) return str + "way";
const consonantCluster = str.match(/^[^aeiou]+/)[0];
return str.substring(consonantCluster.length) + consonantCluster + "ay";
}
// test here
translatePigLatin("consonant");
### Code Explanation:
* First, check to see if the string begins with a vowel.
* The regex looks at the beginning of the string `^` for one of the specified characters `[aeiou]`
* If it does, you only need to return the original string with "way" appended on the end.
* If the string does not start with a vowel, we want to build a string which contains every consonant before the first vowel in the provided string.
* To do this, look at the beginning of a string `^` for one or more characters `+` NOT specified `[^aeiou]`.
* If there is a match (and in this case, there always will be), `match()` returns an Array with the matched string as the first element, which is all we want. Grab it with `[0]`.
* Now, we can start building our Pig Latin string to return. This can be built in three parts:
* The first part contains all of the characters in the original string, starting from the first vowel. We can easily get these characters by creating a substring of the original string, with its starting index being the first vowel.
* The second part contains the consonant string we just built. (If you add the second and first parts of this string together, you will get the original string.)
* The final part contains "ay".
