I don’t know what I am doing wrong…

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}]')            
        ]
        
        # Check constraints        
        if all(
            constraint <= len(re.findall(pattern, password))
            for constraint, pattern in constraints
        ):
            break

    return password

Why did you write the arguments like this? Is that something you’ve done before?

You’ll actually find this described in the next step. For now, you can pass the arguments without the names.

thank you! No I had done it without the names on the arguments but I got it wrong somehow so I copied someone else’s text from another post in hopes of it working incase I didn’t understand I needed to add names.
