CODE IN JAVA

Improve the design of the program so each check is a separate method. Add a loop to check multiple passwords. For our program, we want to make certain that the validity of a password passes the following rules:

// Let's say a valid password consist of the following:

//a length of 7-9 characters

// at least one capital letter

//a small letter at location 1

// at least two special characters (something other than a number or digit)

// no underscores or dashes

--------------------Desired Output----------------

Sample output for CheckValid

The password must have:

A length of 7-9 characters

At least one capital letter

A small letter as the second character

At least two special characters (something other than a number or digit)

No underscores or dashes

Enter in a password.

Hs&&dfd

Password is valid

Want to check another? (true or false)

true

The password must have:

A length of 7-9 characters

At least one capital letter

A small letter as the second character

At least two special characters (something other than a number or digit)

No underscores or dashes

Enter in a password.

HH$$dfd

Password does not have a lower case letter as the second letter

Want to check another? (true or false)

true

The password must have:

A length of 7-9 characters

At least one capital letter

A small letter as the second character

At least two special characters (something other than a number or digit)

No underscores or dashes

Enter in a password.

Hsssdfd

Password does not have any at least two special characters (something other than a number or digit)

Want to check another? (true or false)

true

The password must have:

A length of 7-9 characters

At least one capital letter

A small letter as the second character

At least two special characters (something other than a number or digit)

No underscores or dashes
