Ramdom Password

The document describes a Random Password Generator implemented in C language, which allows users to specify the length and character sets for the password. It includes functions to validate input and generate a password based on selected criteria such as lowercase letters, uppercase letters, digits, and symbols. The program also provides usage instructions and prompts the user for input to customize the password generation.
