I’ve long worked software developer-adjacent, and I’ve dabbled in the command line. While the regular English phrase “Regular Expression” was not immediately available in my memory banks, Regex is. Regex = Regular Expression. Always Be Learning.
The lab that day was called Piglatinizer. Idea was to take in a string, one word or many, and convert it to pig latin . Pig latin constructed by splitting a word by the first vowel, appending the first part to then end of the second and applying “ay.” Words that start with a vowel simply have “way” (or other, regional variations) stuck to the end. So “snickers” becomes “ickerssnay” and “apple” becomes “appleway.”
SO MUCH FUN, RIGHT?
