Tell us what’s happening:
# Check constraints
for constraint, pattern in constraints:
if constraint <= len(re.findall(pattern, password)):
pass
I am getting below message for above code.
Sorry, your code does not pass. Keep trying. You should compare constraint and the length of the list returned by findall using the <= operator inside your for loop.
(Test timed out)
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, r'\d'),
(lowercase, r'[a-z]'),
(uppercase, r'[A-Z]'),
(special_chars, fr'[{symbols}]')
]
# User Editable Region
# Check constraints
for constraint, pattern in constraints:
if constraint <= len(re.findall(pattern, password)):
pass
# User Editable Region
return password
new_password = generate_password(8, 1, 2, 3, 3)
# print(new_password)
