Tell us what’s happening:

I wasn’t able to locate the expression to change it; can anyone help?

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
        count = 0
        for constraint, pattern in constraints:
            constraint <= len(re.findall(pattern, password))

# User Editable Region

    return password

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

this is the section you need to focus on, you need to add a new line with the expression they ask you to add

The expression they are referring to here is the code in the for in statement.

The instructions are a bit misleading as in the previous step a variable was added but they are referring to the expression.

or they were never updated after the previous step was added
