The Pig Latin programming challenge

Programming Challenge

This is the Pig Latin programming challenge.

The challenge is to convert an English sentence into Pig Latin.

• You can choose to complete it in JS, PHP, C# or Java. Choose whichever language you are most comfortable with (unless you've already been requested to use a different language)
• It should not take more than 2 hours.

Description

Pig Latin takes the first consonant (or consonant cluster) of an English word, moves it to the end of the word and appends an "ay". If a word begins with a vowel you just append "way".

Examples

English	Pig Latin
hello	ellohay
shellfish	ellfishshay
envelope	envelopeway

Bonus Challenge (Optional)

Restore the first letter case of the Pig Latin word to match the English word.
