Constructors Summary
public Password(String p) Construct a password using the given String as the "user's pick". throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException If password too short. if (p.length() < MIN_LENGTH) throw new IllegalArgumentException( "Password " + p + " length less than minimum of " + MIN_LENGTH); pw = p;

public java.lang.String	getPassword() Return this Password as a String return pw;
public static void	main(java.lang.String[] argv) for (int i=0; i<20; i++) { System.out.println(Password.getNext()); }
public java.lang.String	toString() Return this Password as a String return pw;
