# password, with 8 characters, that must also include:
'''
2 uppercase letters from A to Z
2 lowercase letters from a to z
2 digits from 0 to 9
2 punctuation signs such as !, ?, ", #, etc."
'''
# Will use ASCII for this https://www.101computing.net/wp/wp-content/uploads/ASCII-Table.pdf

lowercaseLetter1 = chr(random.randint(97, 122)) # based on ASCII

# Now we need to shuffle, make a function that shuffles
def new_password(x):
    tempList = list(x)
    random.shuffle(tempList) # random.shuffle is a thing!  https://pynative.com/python-random-shuffle/
    return ''.join(tempList) # Why do we need this part/why is it written like this?
                             # ANSWER: ''.join(), where '' is what you want to separate the strings with. In this case, none!
                             #         .join() is used for strings, it's how you concatenate them

# The 'formula' for what makes up a password
password = (uppercaseLetter1 + lowercaseLetter1 + digit1 + punctuation1 + uppercaseLetter2 + lowercaseLetter2 + digit2 + punctuation2)

# Appling the shuffle function to our password formula
password = new_password(password)

# Printing the output
print("Here is your new randomly generated password: ", password)
