Tell us what’s happening:

hello dear tutors, im stuck again :stuck_out_tongue:
lecture told me to create a character class for w that is working with either h or a. so i guessed that the ‘l+’ assigned to. the pattern had to go and the char class has to be set instead. ( w[ha]). where have had i lost track here? thanks in advance :slight_smile:

lecture: A character class is indicated by square brackets and matches one character among those specified between the brackets. For example, ma[dnt] matches either mad, man, or mat.

Modify your pattern to match a w followed by either h or a.

Your code so far

import re
import secrets
import string


def generate_password(length, nums, special_chars, uppercase, lowercase):
    # 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

    while True:
        password = ''
        # Generate password
        for _ in range(length):
            password += secrets.choice(all_characters)
        
        constraints = [
            (nums, '')
        ]        

    return password
    
# new_password = generate_password(8)
# print(new_password)

# User Editable Region

pattern = w[ha]
quote = 'Not all those who wander are lost.'
print(re.findall(pattern, quote))

# User Editable Region

Please don’t post solution code, thanks!

It is great that you solved the challenge, but instead of posting your full working solution, it is best to stay focused on answering the original poster’s question(s) and help guide them with hints and suggestions to solve their own issues with the challenge.

We are trying to cut back on the number of spoiler solutions found on the forum and instead focus on helping other campers with their questions and definitely not posting full working solutions.
