0824: Goat Latin
Problem Statement
You are given a string sentence that consist of words separated by spaces. Each word consists of lowercase and uppercase letters only.
We would like to convert the sentence to "Goat Latin" (a made-up language similar to Pig Latin.) The rules of Goat Latin are as follows:
- If a word begins with a vowel (
'a','e','i','o', or'u'), append"ma"to the end of the word.
<ul>
<li>For example, the word <code>"apple"</code> becomes <code>"applema"</code>.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>If a word begins with a consonant (i.e., not a vowel), remove the first letter and append it to the end, then add <code>"ma"</code>.
<ul>
<li>For example, the word <code>"goat"</code> becomes <code>"oatgma"</code>.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Add one letter <code>'a'</code> to the end of each word per its word index in the sentence, starting with <code>1</code>.
<ul>
<li>For example, the first word gets <code>"a"</code> added to the end, the second word gets <code>"aa"</code> added to the end, and so on.</li>
</ul>
</li>
Return the final sentence representing the conversion from sentence to Goat Latin.
