Tell us what’s happening:

i dont understand what is happening

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:    
            if constraint <= len(re.findall(pattern, password)):
                count += 1
            if count == 4:
                break    

# User Editable Region

    return password

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

Instructions say you should create an if statement after the for loop. You created a new if inside the loop.

Does this solve your problems or is it more a logic issue?

3

you have not answered my question.

4

What part of the code or instructions is confusing? “What is happening” is a really vague question and it’s really difficult to answer it without having more details from you

5

you are not answering the question, please keep scrolling.

6

vague questions get vague answers, precise questions get precise answers

7

good keep tell yourself that.

8

Can you please talk to us about how the instructions or error message is confusing. Thanks
