--description--

The search() function from the re module analyzes the string passed as the argument looking for the first place where the regex pattern matches the string.

Declare a variable called quote and assign the string 'Not all those who wander are lost.' to this variable. Then, print the result of pattern.search(quote).

--hints--

You should have a quote variable.

js
({ test: () => assert(__userGlobals.has("quote")) })

You should assign the provided string to your new quote variable.

js
({ test: () => assert.equal(__userGlobals.get("quote"), "Not all those who wander are lost.") })

You should print pattern.search(quote).

js
({ test: () => assert.match(code, /^print\s*\(\s*pattern\.search\s*\(\s*quote\s*\)\s*\)/m) })

py
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, '')
        ]        

    return password

# new_password = generate_password(8)
# print(new_password)
