Learn Regular Expressions by Building a Password Generator - Step 36

Tell us what’s happening:

The challenge is to Modify your pattern variable to match any letter t preceded by a lowercase letter in the quote variable. Use the range of characters from a to z for that.

I understand that the meaning of precede operation is at first or beginning operation but I don’t understand the ‘by a lowercase letter in the quote variable’ step.
I’ve been stuck in this for a day now can anybody please help me?

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)
# print(new_password)

# User Editable Region

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

# User Editable Region

it means you need a pattern that matches any lowercase letter followed by a t. I see a bit too many brackets and parenthesis in your pattern

match any letter t preceded by a lowercase letter

Precede does mean before, correct. Examples:

t preceded by lowercase a:
at
t preceded by b:
bt
