Question 65

A programmer is writing a Python program to validate that a newly entered password is between 8 and 20 characters inclusive.

Figure 1 shows the corrected version of the code.

1  password = input("Enter password: ")
2  passLength = len(password)
3  while passLength < 8 or passLength > 20:
4      print("Invalid password length")
5      password = input("Enter password: ")
6  print("Password length is valid")

In an earlier draft of the program, line 3 contained one syntax error and one logic error:

whlie passLength <= 8 or passLength > 20:

Complete the table to describe the syntax error and the logic error in this earlier draft of line 3.
