PigLatin Sentence Translator Help

[2skywalkers]

What I want me code to do is be able to take a sentence from a user input and output each word in that sentence in Pig Latin form. If I enter "hello there" it says ellohay, it is only printing the first word in pig latin. I am also having trouble with running code in different applications and stuff like that. It won't work in BBEdit or Terminal, but it will in JupterLab. So I would also appreciate it if any could recommend some software for a Mac because I think the software I'm using might be the problem.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24

def pig():           sentence = input("Enter a sentence: ")                 for word in sentence.split():               first_letter = word[0]               if first_letter in "aeiou":                       word = word + "ay"             return word                       else:                       word = word[1:] + first_letter + "ay"             return word           newsent = (" ".join(sentence.split()))         print(newsent)         pig()

When you use "return", your function stop there and returns what you specified.

Thanks for your help, but when I remove the return statements, if I enter "hello there" it prints:
hello there
hello there

You have to store the modified "word" in a variable inside the for loop (maybe a list).

Then, this part must be outside the for loop:

1 2	newsent = (" ".join(my_new_words_list)) print(newsent)

Im not sure if I did it right but its still not working.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27

def pig():           sentence = input("Enter a sentence: ")                 for word in sentence.split():               first_letter = word[0]                   newlist = []               if first_letter in "aeiou":                       word = word + "ay"                           newlist.append(word)         else:                       word = word[1:] + first_letter + "ay"                           newlist.append(word)       newsent = (" ".join(newlist))     print(newsent)         pig()

The following code will help you get started, however you have two remaining tasks:
a. Punctuation
b. Combining the new words into a sentence

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28

def pig():            sentence = input("Enter a sentence: ")                   for word in sentence.split():                first_letter = word[0]         print(word)                if first_letter in "aeiou":                        word = word + "ay"                                    else:                        word = word[1:] + first_letter + "ay"                 print(word)         print("")        newsent = (" ".join(sentence.split()))     print(newsent)           pig() print("done")

You are resetting the newlist every loop iteration.
Check this:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

def pig():       sentence = input("Enter a sentence: ")     newlist = []       for word in sentence.split():         first_letter = word[0]           if first_letter in "aeiou":             word = word + "ay"         else:             word = word[1:] + first_letter + "ay"           newlist.append(word)       newsent = (" ".join(newlist))     print(newsent)     pig()
