        public static boolean checkAPassword(java.lang.String password,
                                     int minLength,
                                     int minCapitalLetter,
                                     int minNumber,
                                     int minSpecial)
        Given a potential password check it against provided rules.

        The function is passed a length and capital letter, number, and special character counts. It should return true if the password is the appropriate length and has the required number of capital letters, numbers, and special characters, and false otherwise. !,@,#,$,%,^,_, and * count as special characters.

        The counts may be zero, in which case there are no requirements for that rule. For example, if numberCount == 0 then the password does not have to contain a number. Of course, it still can.

        The passed password string may be empty but will not be null.

        Parameters:
        password - the password to check
        minLength - the minimum length for the password
        minCapitalLetter - the minimum number of capital letters the password must contain
        minNumber - the minimum number of numbers that the password must contain
        minSpecial - the minimum number of special characters that the password must contain
        Returns:
        true if the password follows the rules, false otherwise
