Hi Chantal,

Thank you for submitting the password verification exercise! Good work, below is some feedback/suggestions for you:

• When submitting don't forget to use the .rb file extension for each of your files, not just the name of the gist
• Clever ways of checking for the special characters and if the password contains a number or not.
  • If you haven't already and you're up for a challenge, I'd recommend looking up ruby regular expressions and seeing if you can modify your program to use them for the password checks
• Nice job with the use of whitespace in your program - it's nicely laid out and easy to follow
• Aside from the beginning and end prompt, there is no indication of what the user needs to do while they're entering their password. Put more puts prompts to more clearly indicate to the user what they are or are not doing correctly.

Hope this helps, please reach out to me if you have any questions. See you in class on Tuesday!
