Hello,

Is this a requirement for an application or is this a learning exercise?

Most often password validation is included in the security rules managed by the security administration people and password validation code is not included in the actual application code.

Also, most user-id's are greater than 3 characters.

If you just want to write code to see if a particular set of characters is in another, you need to first come up with "the rules". For example, is 123ram ok or is that an error? What about bramw123? Will the uid always be 3?

To write the code you want, set up a field or an array to hold the password and using reference modification compare the uid against the pwd following the rules.

Code your solution and post your code here if you have questions.

Hello,

This, from the earlier reply, is how to begin.
