Password Generator

The document describes a Python program to generate random passwords. It imports random and array libraries. It defines arrays of character sets (digits, lowercase, uppercase, symbols). It randomly selects one character from each set to form an initial 4 character password. It then fills the remaining length by randomly selecting from a combined character list. It shuffles the temporary password array and joins it to produce the final random password, which is printed.
