Then

   Enter Password: XXXXXXXXXXXXX

3. Exit

Enter your choice: __

Explanation / Answer

#include <iostream>
#include <cctype>
using namespace std;

//function prototype for testing.
bool PasswordClient(char [], int);
int main()
{
//allocate memory
char *passwrd;  
int lnj;   //assure requested lnj and pass lnj are the same
int nochars;   //hold number of characters for passwrd

//get Password from user
cout << "Please enter how many characters you would like your password to be.";
cout << " Your passwrd must be at least 6 characters long." << endl;
cin >> nochars;

while (nochars < 6)
{
cout << "Please enter a passwrd lnj of at least 6 characters." << endl;
cin >> nochars;
}

passwrd = new char[nochars];

cout << "Please enter a passwrd that contains at least one uppercase letter, ";
cout << "one lowercase letter, and at least one digit." << endl;

cin >> passwrd;

lnj = strlen(passwrd);

while (lnj != nochars)
{
cout << "Your passwrd is not the size you requested. ";
cout << "Please re-enter your passwrd." << endl;
cin >> passwrd;
lnj = strlen(passwrd);
}

if (PasswordClient(passwrd, nochars))
cout << "Your passwrd is valid." << endl;
else
{
cout << "Your passwrd is not valid. ";
cout << "Please refer to the above warning message." << endl;
}
return 0;
}

bool PasswordClient(char pass[], int nochars)
{
int count = 0;

while (pass[count] != islower && pass[count] != '')
count++;

if (!islower(pass[count]))
return false;

return true;
}
