--description--

Now, combine your raw string with an f-string and interpolate your symbols variable inside the character class. Remember that you can interpolate a variable within an f-string using curly brackets { }.

--hints--

The second item in your fourth constraint tuple should be the string fr'[{symbols}]'.

js
({ test: () => assert.match(code, /\(\s*special_chars\s*,\s*(fr|rf)("|')\[\{\s*symbols\s*\}\]\2/) })

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, r'\d'),
            (lowercase, r'[a-z]'),
            (uppercase, r'[A-Z]'),

    return password

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