Password Validation (Code Coach) - Test cases #10 & #11 fail

Question

Hello everyone,

My code does not pass tests #10 and #11 in the code coach challenge Password Validation.

Does somebody have an idea why not?
Maybe someone can post the test cases' input?

Answer 1

Seban ,

the issue is how the code checks the special characters. it iterates over the tuple with the special characters and is using find() function.

supposing there are 2 `@` as special chars, the current code will only find 1 of them. this can lead to `weak` as output.

better to iterate over the password, and check if the character is in the special characters tuple. we can use the `in` operator instead of find().

Answer 2

.find() gets the first occurrence on the search character.

Suppose you have a pw = "**aaaaa". Your code will find 1 "*" instead of 2.
