Style and Functionality

• Object-Oriented Design: The code follows an object-oriented approach, with classes like RandomChar and PasswordGenerator encapsulating related functionality.
• Modularity: The code is modular, with separate methods for generating different types of characters (uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and special characters).
• Flexibility: The PasswordGenerator class allows for customization of password length and minimum requirements for different character types.
• Randomization: The generated passwords are randomized for increased security, with characters shuffled to create unique combinations.

Feel free to explore and modify the code according to your needs! Happy coding! 🚀
