Tell us what’s happening:

The error is as follows: You should modify your pattern variable to match any letter t in quote preceded by a lowercase letter using the [a-z] class.

I believe that’s what I did. Thoughts?

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, '[0123456789]')
        ]        

    return password
    
# new_password = generate_password(8)

/* User Editable Region */

# print(new_password)
pattern = 'a-z[t]'
quote = 'Not all those who wander are lost.'
print(re.findall(pattern, quote))

/* User Editable Region */

a-z will match literally “a-z”, not any character from a to z. Your square brackets are mis-placed.
