Question

Write an application that accepts a word from a user and converts it to Pig Latin. If a word starts with a consonant, the Pig Latin version removes all consonants from the beginning of the word and places them at the end, followed by ay. For example, cricket becomes icketcray. If a word starts with a vowel, the Pig Latin version is the original word with ay added to the end. For example, apple becomes appleay. If y is the first letter in a word, it is treated as a consonant; otherwise, it is treated as a vowel. For example, young becomes oungyay, but system becomes ystemsay. For this program, assume that the user will enter only a single word consisting of all lowercase letters.
