我在这里的任务是使用递归创建一个猪拉丁语翻译器,它可以翻译句子。规则如下:
- 如果englishWord 中没有元音,那么pigLatinWord 就是englishWord + "ay"。(有十个元音:'a'、'e'、'i'、'o' 和 'u',以及它们的大写对应物。就本作业而言,'y' 不被视为元音,即my 变成 myay,why 变成 whyay 等)
- 否则,如果englishWord 以元音开头,那么pigLatinWord 就是englishWord + "yay"。
- 否则(如果englishWord 中有元音但不以元音开头),则pigLatinWord 为end + start + "ay",其中end 和start 定义如下:-
让 start 是所有englishWord 直到(但不包括)它的第一个元音。让 end 成为从第一个元音开始的所有英语单词。但是,如果englishWord 大写,则结束大写并“取消大写”开始。
到目前为止,这是我的代码(对不起,奇怪的格式,我的评论搞砸了):
/*Recursively Translate a String (without punctuation or numerical characters) to Pig Latin*/
//prep the string for translation and submit it to be translated
public static String translate(String finished) {
finished.trim(); //Trim the String of whitespace at the front and end
finished += " "; //Because of the recursive method I use, the string must have a
//space at the end
finished = translateSentence(finished); //recursively translate the string
finished.trim(); //trim the whitespace added earlier
return finished; //Return the string
}
//recursively submits each word in the string to the translator, then
//returns the translated sentence
private static String translateSentence(String finished) {
if (finished.length() == 0) { //the base condition is met when each word in the string
return finished; //has been sent to the translator (string is empty)
}
else {
return (translateWord(finished.substring(0, finished.indexOf(' ') )) + " "
+ translateSentence(finished.substring(finished.indexOf(' ') + 1)));
}
}
/*If the base condition is not met, the method returns the first word of the string
* (translated) and a space, then submits the rest of the
* string back to the method. The first word is defined as the beginning
* of the string up until the first space. The rest of the string
* starts one character after the space. */
//Checks the submitted word for vowels and vowel placement, and translates accordingly
private static String translateWord(String stringA) {
if (stringA.indexOf('a') == -1
&& stringA.indexOf('e') == -1 //Checks for presence of any vowels
&& stringA.indexOf('i') == -1 //if no vowels are found
&& stringA.indexOf('o') == -1 //the word + ay is returned
&& stringA.indexOf('u') == -1
&& stringA.indexOf('A') == -1
&& stringA.indexOf('E') == -1
&& stringA.indexOf('I') == -1
&& stringA.indexOf('O') == -1
&& stringA.indexOf('U') == -1) {
return stringA + "ay";
}
if (stringA.charAt(0) == 'a'
|| stringA.charAt(0) == 'e' //checks if there is a vowel at the start

|| stringA.charAt(0) == 'I'
|| stringA.charAt(0) == 'O'
|| stringA.charAt(0) == 'U') {
return stringA + "yay";
}
/* if the word has a vowel that isn't at the start, the part of the string
* before the first vowel is moved to the end of the vowel, and "ay" is added.

else {
if (Character.isUpperCase(stringA.charAt(0))) {
return Character.toUpperCase(stringA.charAt(firstVowel(stringA, 0)))
+ stringA.substring(firstVowel(stringA, 0) + 1, stringA.length())
+ Character.toLowerCase(stringA.charAt(0))
+ stringA.substring(1, firstVowel(stringA, 0)) + "ay";
}
else {
return stringA.substring(firstVowel(stringA, 0), stringA.length())
+ stringA.substring(0, firstVowel(stringA, 0)) + "ay";
}
}
}
//Recursively determines the index number of the first vowel in a given word
//0 must always be submitted as int x
public static int firstVowel(String stringA, int x) {
if (x > stringA.length() - 1) { //if the index number becomes greater than the length
return -1; //of the string, -1 (no vowels) is returned
}
if (stringA.charAt(x) == 'a'
|| stringA.charAt(x) == 'e' //the base condition is met when the character
|| stringA.charAt(x) == 'i' //at the current index number is a vowel
|| stringA.charAt(x) == 'o' //and the index number is returned

|| stringA.charAt(x) == 'O'
|| stringA.charAt(x) == 'U') {
return x;
}
else {
return firstVowel(stringA, x + 1); //otherwise, the string and the index number
} // + 1 are submitted back to the method
}
这给了我想要的输出(“Why hello there”变成了“Whyay ellohay erethay”),但现在它不能处理标点符号。基本上我正在寻找的是任何提示或帮助让我的代码处理标点符号,或任何改进我的代码的方法(仍然使用递归)。
