Description

This repository holds week III homework assignment for JavaScript Password Generator app. The main function that generates random passwords relies on user input and covers a few edge cases. Additionally, I added JS alerts for the edge cases that result in a popup window with an error message along with additional information generated on the page to help the user make corrective actions. The JS code has comments with descriptive changes.
