// Password generator function
function generatePassword(length = 12, options = { lowercase: true, uppercase: true, numbers: true, symbols: true }) {
  // Define character sets
  const lowercase = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz';
  const uppercase = 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ';
  const numbers = '0123456789';
  const symbols = '!@#$%^&*()_+[]{}|;:,.<>?';

  // Create a pool of characters based on the selected options
  let characters = '';
  if (options.lowercase) characters += lowercase;
  if (options.uppercase) characters += uppercase;
  if (options.numbers) characters += numbers;
  if (options.symbols) characters += symbols;

  // Generate the password
  let password = '';
  for (let i = 0; i < length; i++) {
    const randomIndex = Math.floor(Math.random() * characters.length);
    password += characters[randomIndex];
  }

  return password;

const password = generatePassword(16, { lowercase: true, uppercase: true, numbers: true, symbols: true });
console.log('Generated Password:', password);
