Doesn't matter. What if one of the words doesn't contain any vowel or "y"?
E.g. "Grrr!", "Hmmm", "the nth degree", "tsk tsk", Internet slang such
as "pwn" and "pr0n", or words in Foreign like "cwm" (pronounced "koom",
Welsh for a cirque, which is a type of valley). You still need to deal with
the case that a word contains no vowels at all.
The easiest way is to initialise the "pigword" variable to the word itself,
then if the vowel test never succeeds, the function will return the word
unchanged.
def pigword(word):
"""Return word converted to piglatin."""
pig = word # initialise to the word itself.
blah blah blah # your code goes here
return pig
