Method Detail

checkPassword

public static boolean checkPassword(java.lang.String password,
                                    int minLength,
                                    int minLetter,
                                    int minNumber,
                                    int minSpecial)

Given a potential password check it against provided rules.

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

minLetter - the minimum number of letters the password must contain

minNumber - the minimum number of letters 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

main

public static void main(java.lang.String[] unused)
