Send your last tweet in PigLatin to your phone!

#Overview This program takes in a ten-digit phone number in the US and a Twitter handle both from the keyboard. Next, the program retrieves the last tweet from the account with that Twitter handle. Then, the program Pig Latinizes the text in the tweet and uses the Twilio Platform to text the Pig Latinized tweet to the phone number that was inputted in the beginning of the program.
