In this lab, you'll practice using functions by building a random password generator.

Objective: Fulfill the user stories below and get all the tests to pass to complete the lab.

User Stories:

You should create a function called generatePassword that takes a parameter, indicating the length of generated password. You can name the parameter whatever you like.
Your function should return a string which represents a randomly generated password. You should use the following string and different Math methods to help you return a new string with random characters in it: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789!@#$%^&*().
You should define a variable called password and assign it the result of calling the generatePassword function with a numeric argument that represents the desired password length.
You should have a console.log that logs a single string made by concatenating the message Generated password: and the password variable separated by a space.

--hints--

You should have a generatePassword function with a parameter. You can name the parameter whatever you like.

assert.isFunction(generatePassword);
assert.lengthOf(generatePassword, 1);

Your generatePassword function should return a string.

const result = generatePassword(5);
assert.isString(result);

Your generatePassword function should return a new string that is the correct length.

const length = 8;
const password = generatePassword(length);
assert.lengthOf(password, length);

Your function should return a randomly generated password with valid characters.

const validChars = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789!@#$%^&*()";
const password = generatePassword(10);
for (let char of password) {
    assert.include(validChars, char);
}

Your function should return a randomly generated password which contains more than one unique character.

const passwordSetSize1 = new Set(generatePassword(12)).size;
const passwordSetSize2 = new Set(generatePassword(12)).size;
const passwordSetSize3 = new Set(generatePassword(12)).size;
assert.isAbove(passwordSetSize1 + passwordSetSize2 + passwordSetSize3, 3);

Your function should return a new random string each time it is called.

const password1 = generatePassword(10);
const password2 = generatePassword(10);
assert.notStrictEqual(password1, password2);

You should have a password variable.

assert.isDefined(password);

Your password variable should be a string.

assert.isString(password);

You should call the generatePassword function with a numeric argument and store the returned password in the password variable.

assert.isDefined(password);
assert.isString(password);
assert.match(password, /^[A-Za-z0-9!@#$%^&*()]+$/);
const length2 = 10;
const password3 = generatePassword(length2);
assert.lengthOf(password3, length2);
assert.equal(password3.length, generatePassword(length2).length);
assert.match(__helpers.removeJSComments(code), /(let|const|var)\s+password\s*=\s*generatePassword\(\d+\)\;?/);

You should log a single string combining Generated password: and the password separated by a single space using + or a template literal.

const cleanCode = __helpers.removeJSComments(code);
const condition1 = /console\.log\(\s*["']Generated\s+password:\s*["']\s*\+\s*password\s*\);?/gm.test(cleanCode);
const condition2 = /console\.log\(\s*`Generated\s+password:\s*\$\{password\}`\s*\);?/gm.test(cleanCode);
assert.isTrue(condition1 || condition2);

const generatePassword = (length) => {
    const chars = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789!@#$%^&*()";
    let password = "";
    for (let i = 0; i < length; i++) {
        const randomIndex = Math.floor(Math.random() * chars.length);
        password += chars[randomIndex];
    }
    return password;
};

const password = generatePassword(12);
console.log(`Generated password: ${password}`);
