    <p>I am trying to make a program in Java that checks for three specific inputs. It has to have pass these tests:</p> <ol> <li>At least <code>7</code> characters.</li> <li>Contain both <code>upper</code> and <code>lower</code> case alphabetic characters.</li> <li>Contain at least <code>1</code> digit.</li> </ol> <p>So far I have been able to make it check if there is 7 characters, but I am having trouble with the last two. What should I put in my loop as an if statement to check for digits and make it upper and lower case. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is what I have so far.</p> <pre><code>import java.awt.*; import java.io.*; import java.util.StringTokenizer; public class passCheck { private static String getStrSys () { String myInput = null; //Store the String that is read in from the command line BufferedReader mySystem; //Buffer to store the input mySystem = new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader (System.in)); //creates a connection to system input try { myInput = mySystem.readLine (); //reads in data from the console myInput = myInput.trim (); } catch (IOException e) //check { System.out.println ("IOException: " + e); return ""; } return myInput; //return the integer to the main program } //**************************************** //main instructions go here //**************************************** static public void main (String[] args) { String pass; //the words the user inputs String temp = ""; //holds temp info int stringLength; //length of string boolean goodPass = false; System.out.print ("Please enter a password: "); //ask for words pass = getStrSys (); //get words from system temp = pass.toLowerCase (); stringLength = pass.length (); //find length of eveyrthing while (goodPass == false) { if (stringLength &lt; 7) { System.out.println ("Your password must consist of at least 7 characters"); System.out.print ("Please enter a password: "); //ask for words pass = getStrSys (); stringLength = pass.length (); goodPass = false; } else if (/* something to check for digits */) { } } </code></pre>
