- What was your motivation? I wanted to a way to generate a random password
- Why did you build this project? To show people projects that I have been involved in creating.
- What problem does it solve? It solves the problem of trying to explain what I've created and how I did it, instead of trying to explain it all, I can show them.
- What did I learn? I learned if and else if statements as well as arrays in javascript. I learned math.random and math.floor and how to apply them. I learned about the different kinds of popup windows and how to implement them and how to use the confirm popup as a true/false. I learned that the possibilites of what I can do with javascript at this point are only limited by my imagination.

To use the website, you click on the "Generate Password" button and it will provide you with a prompt to select how long the password will be. Following that you will get 4 popups asking what kind of characters you wish to have in the password (lowercase letters, uppercase letters, numbers and special characters). Once those have been selected you will get one last popup with the created password for you.
Below is a screenshot of what the website should look like.
I used w3schools and MDN to assist with the arrays and how to combine several inputs through concactenate. I also used Stack Overflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46827994/remove-commas-after-javascript-push-function-in-object to assist with removing the commas from the final password.
