Why doesn't work??

Question

Hi everyone, I'm trying the validation password challenge and actually i did it on my laptop, but here it doesn't work and I can't see why, somebody can see the error here? Thanks :)

public class Program
{

boolean isSafe(String cad){
boolean safe=false;
String specChar="!@#&*%";
int cont=0;
if(cad.length()>=7){
for(int i=0;i<cad.length();i++){
for(int j=0;j<specChar.length();j++){
if(String.valueOf(cad.charAt(i)).equals(String.valueOf(specChar.charAt(j)))){
cont++;
}
}
}
if(cont>=2){
safe =true;
}

}
return safe;
}

Answer 1

In your password : special symbols are @$
But your special symbols string specChar has no $
So cont is 1 only, means it returns false.

Answer 2

Main method is missing...!!!!!!!!
Pls Save code and share link here...

Answer 3

I got the main, i just pasted the 'functional' part of the code
The main is
public static void main(String[] args) {
Program p = new Program();
String password="Hello@$World19";
if(p.isSafe(password)){
System.out.println("Strong");
}
else{System.out.println("Weak");}
}

The problem is that my boolean safe is always false, but i still can't see my mistake.
Thank you anyway :)

Answer 4

yeah, i skipped that charachter, but then safe was always true, and that helped me find the mistake!!.
I was assigning an specific value to the parameter of my method, so if that variable was strong or weak, it gives every test case the same result, i just needed to introduce the scanner and it works, every test case is correct except for one that is hidden so i can't see why :(.

Thank you so much for helping me, i was able to notice the error thanks to you!
