+# generate passwords - strong passwords have a mix of lowercase 
+# letters, uppercase letters, numbers, and symbols. The passwords 
+# should be random, generating a new password every time the user
+# asks for a new password. Include your run-time code in a main method.
+# Extra:
+#  Ask the user how strong they want their password to be. 
+#  For weak passwords, pick a word or two from a list.
