How do i create a Pig Latin Converter program that will read in a file called "pigLatinFile.in" of English sentences, convert them into Pig Latin, and will output them back to a file called "pigLatinFile.out"


#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

bool isVowel(char ch);
string rotate(string pStr);
string pigLatinString(string pStr);

int main()
{
string str;

cout << "Enter a string: ";
cin >> str;
cout << endl;

cout << "The pig Latin form of " << str << " is: "
<< pigLatinString(str) << endl;

return 0;
}

bool isVowel(char ch)
{
switch (ch)
{
case 'A':
case 'E':
case 'I':
case 'O':
case 'U':
case 'Y':
case 'a':
case 'e':
case 'i':
case 'o':
case 'u':
case 'y':
return true;
default:
return false;
}
}

string rotate(string pStr)
{
string::size_type len = pStr.length();

string rStr;

rStr = pStr.substr(1, len - 1) + pStr[0];

return rStr;
}

string pigLatinString(string pStr)
{
string::size_type len;

bool foundVowel;

string::size_type counter;

if (isVowel(pStr[0])) //Step 1
pStr = pStr + "-yay";
else //Step 2
{
pStr = pStr + '-';
pStr = rotate(pStr); //Step 3

len = pStr.length(); //Step 3.a
foundVowel = false; //Step 3.b

for (counter = 1; counter < len - 1;
counter++) //Step 3.d
if (isVowel(pStr[0]))
{
foundVowel = true;
break;
}
else //Step 3.c
pStr = rotate(pStr);

if (!foundVowel) //Step 4
pStr = pStr.substr(1, len) + "-way";
else
pStr = pStr + "ay";
}

return pStr; //Step 5
}
