Learn Regular Expressions by Building a Password Generator - Step 17

Python

Step 17 keeps saying I’m not doing the for loop right and I’m sure that I have. I literally copied and pasted someone else’s answer to see if it was me and it still won’t go through. Can someone help me?

Your code so far

import secrets
import string

def generate_password(length):
    # Define the possible characters for the password
    letters = string.ascii_letters
    digits = string.digits
    symbols = string.punctuation

    # Combine all characters
    all_characters = letters + digits + symbols

# User Editable Region

    password = ''
    # Generate password
    for i in range(length):
        secrets.choice(all_characters) += password

# User Editable Region

All I can say is that the answer you copied and pasted is wrong.

use the addition assignment operator to add a random character from all_characters to the current value of password

Are you sure you are doing it?

All I had to do was switch them around? You’ve got to be kidding me. Thanks for the hint.
