A website requires users to create a password that means the following specifications.
00:06
So it has to have a length of 8 to 10 characters.
00:11
There has to be at least one special character among these characters shown here.
00:18
And it may contain the numbers 0 through 9 and the lower and upper cases a through z.
00:27
And it's case sensitive.
00:28
So that means there's not just 26 letters, there are 2 times 26, or 52 letters available.
00:35
There are 10 numbers available, and among these special characters, if you count them up there's 24 of them.
00:46
Now we might break this down into three main categories.
00:50
Passwords with 8 characters, passwords with 9, and passwords with 10 characters.
00:59
Now one of the more tricky parts is there has to be at least one special character, so there could be one or two or three, or all eight, nine or ten characters could just be special characters.
01:11
So one way to approach this would be look at the total number of passwords without worrying about how many special characters there are, and then subtract from that the number of passwords that have zero special characters.
01:23
Characters.
01:25
The difference will be the number of passwords that have at least one special character...
