Just experimenting with publishing a package

//Pig Latin is a way of altering English Words. The rules are as follows:
//If a word begins with a consonant, take the first consonant or consonant cluster, move it to the end of the word, and add "ay" to it.
// If a word begins with a vowel, just add "way" at the end.
function translatePigLatin(str){
    let myconsonant = str.match(/^[^aeiou]+/)
    return myconsonant !== null ? str.replace(myconsonant,"").concat(myconsonant).concat("ay"): str.concat("way")
}
  
console.log(translatePigLatin("california")) //"aliforniacay"
console.log(translatePigLatin("algorithm")) //"algorithmway"
console.log(translatePigLatin("eight")) //"eightway"
console.log(translatePigLatin("pratikshya")) //"atikshyapray"

//The caret serves two different purposes. It is a special character that denotes "the beginning of a line" and it is a "not" operator inside of []s.
//Matches any character that is not a vowel followed by any number of characters.
