Function Name: piglatin
%
% Inputs (1): - (char) A string of two nouns separated by a space.
%
% Outputs (1): - (char) A cryptic sentence to confuse your 2nd grade
% teacher.
%
% Function Description:
% Let's imagine for a second that you're 7 years old again, and have just
% discovered the wonders of pig-latin and using it to confuse your
% teachers. So naturally (since this is CS 1371), you're going to write a
% matlab function to do this for you!
%
% Write a matlab function that takes in a string of two random nouns,
% separated by a space. These two nouns are the answers to two questions
% that your teacher has asked you: the first is your favorite thing in
% the world, and your second is your least favorite thing in the world.
% (Because those are the kinds of things teachers ask you in 2nd grade,
% after all.) So your function will need to convert the inputted words to
% pig latin, and then print them into a sentence that you can then read
% to your teacher.
%   
% An explanation of pig latin: a word in pig latin has its first sound
% removed (ex: "taco" becomes "aco" when you remove the T sound), and
% then this first sound is used with 'ay' after it, and hyphenated to the
% end of the word-without-its-first-sound.
%
% example table: Original Word | Pig Latined Word
% ----------------------------------
% Matlab | Atlab-May
% Computer | Omputer-Cay
% Transfer | Ansfer-Tray
% Through | Ough-Thray
%
% Notice that it is not always a matter of taking the first letter off of
% the original word, but taking all the letters up to the first vowel.
%
% Then, once you have figured out the whole pig-latin thing, it's time to
% actually answer the question your teacher asked you. To do this, simply
% print the two words into a string as such:
%
% 'My most favorite thing in the world is _____, but I hate _____!'
%
% Where the underscores represent where you should put the pig-latin-ed
% words. Make the pig-latin-ed words all lowercase, and do not use any
% spaces in them.
%
% Example:
%
% input: 'Cliffs Totalitarianism'
%
% output: 'My most favorite thing in the world is iffs-clay, but I
% hate otalitarianism-tay!'
%
% Notes:
% - There are no spaces between the hyphen and words in the pig latin
% phrase.
% - The input words will always be seperated by a single space.
% - The letter Y will always be considered a consonant for this problem
% (even if that is not gramatically correct).
% - Always use the first vowel rule, even if the word is something like
% "physics". This should become "ics-physay". (Notice that Y was treated
% as a consonant)
% - You may assume your inputted words will not start with a vowel.
%
% Hints:
% - strtok() will be useful.

Explanation / Answer

A = LOAD 'data' AS (f1:int,f2:int,f3:int); DUMP A; (1,2,3) (4,2,1) (8,3,4) (4,3,3) (7,2,5) (8,4,3) B = GROUP A BY f1; DUMP B; (1,{(1,2,3)}) (4,{(4,2,1),(4,3,3)}) (7,{(7,2,5)}) (8,{(8,3,4),(8,4,3)}) DESCRIBE B; B: {group: int,A: {f1: int,f2: int,f3: int}} X = FOREACH B GENERATE group, (chararray)COUNT(A) AS total; (1,1) (4,2) (7,1) (8,2) DESCRIBE X; X: {group: int,total: chararray}
