Covfefify a string

Question

In this challenge, you must take a string matching the regex ^[a-zA-Z]+$ or whatever is reasonable (you don't have to consider uppercase or lowercase letters if you want) (you may assume the string is long enough, and has the right structure for all the operations), and output another string, produced similarly to word at the end of a recent dadaist tweet by the POTUS ("Despite the constant negative press covfefe").

How to covfefify a string:

First, get the first sound group (made up terminology).

How do you do this? Well:

• Find the first vowel (y is also a vowel)

    v
  creation
  

• Find the first consonant after that

      v
  creation
  

• Remove the rest of the string

  creat
  

That is your first sound group.

Next step:

Get the last consonant of the sound group

t

and replace it with the voiced or voiceless version. To do this, find the letter in this table. Replace with the letter given (which may be the same letter)

b: p
c: g
d: t
f: v
g: k
h: h
j: j
k: g
l: l
m: m
n: n
p: b
q: q
r: r
s: z
t: d
v: f
w: w
x: x
z: s

so, we get

d

Then, take the next vowel after that consonant. You can assume that this consonant is not at the end of the string. Join these two together, then repeat it twice:

didi

Concatenate this to the first sound group:

creatdidi

You're done: the string is covfefified, and you can now output it.

Test cases:

coverage: covfefe

example: exxaxa

programming: progkaka (the a is the first vowel after the g, even though it is not immediately after)
code: codtete

president: preszizi

This is code-golf, so please make your program as short as possible!

  # Ungrouped:
  #  Some more (non-greedy) characters
  # Group 2
  #  Exactly one other vowel
  # By switching between greedy and non-greedy matches, we can capture longest and shortest vowel/consonant sequences without writing out all the consonants
  x[/(.*?#{v}+.).*?(#{v})/]

42nd answer of this question, it looks like. Just one byte longer than BQN! It took much more time than it should. I'm pretty sure there are still some simple tricks that I'm missing.

Accept lowercase characters. The program does not actually contain digits - 01345Q in the code above are unprintable characters with ASCII code 0, 1, 3, 4, 5 and 25 respectively.

Answer 20

MATLAB / Octave - 159 158 bytes

The following works assuming the input string is all lowercase.

a=input('','s');m=ismember(a,'aeiouy');s='pgt vkh jglmn bqrzd fwx s';m(1:find(m,1))=1;i=find(~m,1);f=a(1:i);d=s(f(end)-97);m(1:i)=0;v=a(find(m,1));[f d v d v]

Explanation

1. a = input('','s');: Gets a string from STDIN and stores it into the variable a.
2. m=ismember(a,'aeiouy');: Returns a Boolean array that is the same size as the string a determining where vowels are located
3. s='pgt vkh jglmn bqrzd fwx s'; The covfefe mapping of consonants as a string. This string is 25 characters long and omitting the vowels. The first position where the vowel 'a' is supposed to be is removed while the other positions where the vowels are located are placed with a dummy space character. This is so that when we determine the first consonant appearing after the vowel, we will convert the consonant to a position to access a character in this string to determine the first component of the converted word.
4. m(1:find(m,1))=1: Sets the first position of the Boolean array up to where we have found the first vowel as all vowels. This will be so that when we search for the next consonant that follows the first vowel, we will ignore these characters.
5. i=find(~m,1);: Finds the first position of the string that is a consonant after the first vowel.
6. f=a(1:i): Removes the string after the first consonant that follows the vowel. We simply sample from the first position of the string up to this point.
7. d=s(f(end)-97);: Take the last character of the string that is remaining and finds where we need to sample from the lookup string and gets that character. Subtracting a character and a number in MATLAB or Octave coalesces to form an integer by converting the character into its ASCII code. In this case, we subtract the last character by the character at the beginning of the alphabet to give us the position relative to the beginning. However, instead of subtracting by b (98), we subtract by a as MATLAB starts indexing by 1 instead of 0. 'a''s ASCII code is 97.
8. m(1:i)=0;: Takes the Boolean mask and sets all characters in the input string from the first position to the first consonant following a vowel to false.
9. v=a(find(m,1));: Finds the next vowel that follows the first consonant from the input string.
10. [f d v d v]: Output our covfefeied string.

Clojure, 182 156 chars

#(let[v #{\a\e\i\o\u\y}p(partition-by v %)[s m[c][n]](if(v(first %))(cons[]p)p)z[(or((zipmap"bcdfgkpstvz""pgtvkgbzdfs")c)c)n]](apply str(concat s m[c]z z)))

How It Works

(partition-by v "president")

Returns a seq of ((\p \r) (\e) (\s) (\i) (\d) (\e) (\n \t))

[s m [c] [n]] (if (v (first x)) (cons [] p) p)

Destructures the seq into s=(\p \r), m=(\e), c=\s, n=\i.

Or for "example" it's s=[], m=(\e), c=\x, n=\a.

(apply str (concat s m [c] [(l c) n] [(l c) n]))

Returns the output string by concatenating the pieces together and stringifying it.

And then I just removed as much whitespace as I could while still making it compile.

De-uglified:

(defn covfefify [x]
  (let [vowel? #{\a\e\i\o\u\y}
        parts (partition-by vowel? x)
        [start mid [consonant] [last-vowel]] (if (vowel? (first x)) (cons [] parts) parts)
        lookup #(or ((zipmap "bcdfgkpstvz" "pgtvkgbzdfs") %) %)]
    (apply str (concat start mid [consonant] [(lookup consonant) last-vowel] [(lookup consonant) last-vowel]))))

x:+s[v-1..v]Print s[..c]+x+x

Takes a word from stdin and prints the result to stdout. The input word is assumed to be lowercase and to contain at least one vowel followed by a consonant.

A more readable version of the progam with formatting and variable declarations:

SuperStrict
Framework BRL.StandardIO

Local s:String = Input()
Local v:Int
Local c:Int

For Local i:Int = 1 To s.Length
    Local f:Int = "aeiouy".Contains(s[i - 1..i])
    If f Then
        v = i
        If c Then Exit
    End If
    If v And c | f = 0 Then c = i
Next

Local t:String = "bpdtfvgkcgsz"
Local x:String = s[c-1..c]
Local r:Int = t.Find(x) ~ 1
If r >= 0 Then x = t[r..r + 1]
x :+ s[v - 1..v]
Print s[..c] + x + x

How it works:

BlitzMax doesn't have any builtin regex functionality or similar, so a loop is used to iterate over the characters of the input word until it finds a vowel followed by a chain of at least one consonant. The variable c stores the position of the last of those consonants, v that of the vowel. The loop continues to see if there is another vowel after the chain and if so, v is updated accordingly. Then the consonant at c is looked up in the string "bpdtfvgkcgsz", which acts as a replacement table. If the consonant is found in the table at any position, then that position is XOR-ed with 1 and the character at the resulting position gets used as its replacement. The XOR operation turns 0 into 1, 2 into 3, 4 into 5 etc. and vice versa, so that b gets swapped with p, d with t and so on. Finally, the original string up to c, the replacement character and the vowel at v are put together as required and printed.

A little late to the party, but here's yet another non-regex Python answer! I interpreted the rules to allow printing to STDERR which saves a byte (exit/print). Using Python 3.8 over 3<=3.7 saves me a total of 1 byte with the walrus operator as opposed to defining the c variable elsewhere.

k=z[0]
b=((i="pgtvkgbqrzdfs"=~/#{k}/)?"bcdfgkpqrstvz"[i]: k)+z[c]

How it works

c = /[aeiouy]/

store a regex for searching first vowel to c.

x, y, z = ARGV[0].partition /[^aeiouy]*#{c}*/

split the first argument into three parts {"", String until one character before the first consonant after first vowel, rest of string} and store each of the elements into x, y and z.

k = z[0]

get the first character, the relevant consonant.

i = "pgtvkgbqrzdfs" =~ /#{k}/

get the index of the consonant inside the left string or nil.

b = ((i = ...) ? "bcdfgkpqrstvz"[i] : k) + z[c]

if i is not nil, use this index for the second string (kind of a golfed hash).

if i is nil, use the original character.

next, append the first vowel of z.

p y + k + (b * 2)

finally, print first part from first regex y, the first consonant k and two times the previous calculated string b.
