Code Snippet

import re #this stands for import regular expressions
#TASK 8
#validation is very important in programs - it is to ensure that the data entered into your program is VALID - not rubbish!
#In the creation of a password #at least 6 digits (no less)
#at least one number
#at least one character

#TASK: ANALYSE THE WAY THE WHILE LOOP WORKS. Add messages to warn the user
#when they are getting it wrong for uppercase, character, and blank space....
