Project 5: Random Password Generator

Build a Password Generator

Use functions and loops to create a reusable password generator. Given a desired length, it should return a random mix of letters and numbers.

YOUR TASK

Create a program that:

Defines a function generatePassword(length)
Uses a character set of letters + numbers
Loops length times, picking a random character each time
Returns the assembled password string
Calls the function and logs the result

Need a hint?

Step-by-step:
1. const chars = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789";
2. function generatePassword(length) {'{'}
3.   let password = "";
4.   for (let i = 0; i < length; i++) {'{'}
5.     const index = Math.floor(Math.random() * chars.length);
6.     password += chars[index];
7.   {'}'}
8.   return password;
9. {'}'}
10. console.log(generatePassword(8));

Example output (length = 8):

k4m9z1qr

(random — yours will differ each run)
