Codecoach password validation python 3

Question

Hello,
I have a problem with the last of 13 code checks of the password validator.
I've already tried one change (see comments in the code) to have 2 and only two symbols. But with the changes I failed 3 checks instead of 1.

I would appreciate your help!
Thanks

Answer 1

Hmm cool that it worked but i get where youre coming from. Heres what works in pyscripter for me:

symRegex = re.compile(([!@#$%^&*]{2})+)

'!' doesnt pass
'!%' passes

Answer 3

Try creating a seperate regex for each check. It become more simple when you,

for example,

make a numberRegex to check if theres at least one number, make a password length regex to make sure its long enough, ect.

Then just create a "check" function that has ALL regex checks inside and have the input pass as the parameter

Thanks for the help, with your first comment, I did not understand what you mean, but now I think I get it and try to adapt the code👍

Answer 5

Slick thanks for your help. Changed it and I completed the challenge. But I'm not sure if the description of the problem fits the solution. My new code, as I understand it, only demands 1 symbol and one number instead of 2..

Answer 6

And it looks like you set up your regex with a raw string. THATS GREAT!

But to make a regex:
randRegex = re.compile([a-zA-Z]+)

See how "re.compile()" was used?
This regex matches one or more letter of any case

Answer 7

Wait...need to do more tests

Answer 8

Got it.

symbolRegex = re.compile(r'''(
([!@#$%^&*])+
([^!@#$%^&*])*
([!@#$%^&*])+
)''',re.VERBOSE)

It just says there will be one or more symbols, then zero or more NONsymbols, then one or more symbols after that

Answer 9

VERBOSE is used just to structure it as so. It disregards newlines and comments in the regex
