    Re: Quick Java Question

    ok, I just re-read the lesson in the book, and it had more requirements for this program, so now I had to change a lot. I am stuck now. The program does not work perfectly yet.


    NOTE: As it is now, I wrote it just to test that the code written so far works, I will add the rest of the required code after I know this works fine.


    Program Requirements:

    Main Method
    -Sets up a string variable
    -Calls the getPassword method
    -Prints out the password string to demonstrate it was required properly

    getPassword() Method
    - Loop unitl a good password is entered TWICE
    - Calls the isGoodPassowrd() method to determine that the password met its requirements within that method

    isGoodPassword() Method
    -Accepts a String and returns a Boolean


    CODE:

    Code:
    import java.util.Scanner;
    
    // Create Password Class
    public class Password
    {
    
    	// Create main method
    	public static void main(String[] args)
    	{
    		// Declare variables
    		Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
    		String password = sc.nextLine();
    		
    		
    		// Call isGoodPassword() method
    		isGoodPassword(password);		
    		
    	}
    	
    	
    	
    
    	
    	
    		// Create isGoodPassword Method
    	public static void isGoodPassword(String password)
    	{
    		// Declare variables
    		int letters = 0;
    		int digits = 0;
    		boolean goodPassword;
    		int len = password.length();  // Determines the lenght of the password		
    					
    		// Loop that prompts user to enter a password until one is entered that meets the criteria
    		do
    		{
    			// Prompt user to enter a possible password
    			System.out.println("Please enter a password");
    
    
    			// Check to see if the password contains at least one number and one letter
    			for (int i = 0; i < password.length(); ++i)
    			{
    				char c = password.charAt(i);
    				if (Character.isLetter(c))
    					++letters;
    				if (Character.isDigit(c))
    					++digits;
    			}
    
    			goodPassword = !(len < 6 || len > 10 || letters == 0 || digits == 0);
    			// Check to see that the password is between 6 and 10 characters long, and contains 1 letter and 1 number, minimum
    			// If the password meets the criteria, alert user. If not, ask user to enter a new password
    			if (len < 6 || len > 10 || letters == 0 || digits == 0)
    				System.out.println("Passwords must be between 6 and 10 characters in lenght, and contain at least 1 letter, and 1 number. Please try again.");
    			else
    				System.out.println("This is a good password. Please re-enter your password for verification.");
    		}
    		while (!goodPassword);
    
    
    		
    	}
    
    
    
    }
