Challenge: Pig Latin
Explore how to implement a Pig Latin converter in Java using test-driven development and SOLID principles. Understand how to write test cases first and develop a method that transforms words according to Pig Latin rules while preserving capitalization and handling edge cases. This lesson helps you practice incremental coding and thorough testing for maintainable and flexible designs.

Task and requirements
You have to implement a Pig Latin converter in Java. Pig Latin is a language game where words are altered according to a simple set of rules. The challenge is to build a Pig Latin converter that transforms a given word into Pig Latin based on these rules.
Your converter should be capable of handling single words and should follow these rules:
If a word starts with a vowel (a, e, i, o, or u), add
"yay"to the end of the word.If a word starts with a consonant, move all the consonants at the beginning of the word to the end, then add ...
