What’s the best kind of password?

What will be an ideal response?


Passwords should be long, at least 6 characters, and made up of nonsense letters and numbers, not
words out of the dictionary. However, there should also be some pattern that you can recognize
because if you wind up having to write down your password in order to remember it, you have
defeated the purpose. One trick is to pick a phrase and then use the first letter from each word in
the phrase (and still add a digit or two somewhere). For example, “i0icll” is a good password and you can remember it by remembering: “if only I could learn Linux” (using a zero for the “o” in
“only”).

(Enhancing Class Time) Modify the Time class of Figs. 9.10–9.11 to include a tick member function that increments the time stored in a Time object by one second. The Time object should always remain in a consistent state. Write a program that tests the tick member function in a loop that prints the time in standard format during each iteration of the loop to illustrate that the tick member

function works correctly. Be sure to test the following cases: a) Incrementing into the next minute. b) Incrementing into the next hour. c) Incrementing into the next day (i.e., 11:59:59 PM to 12:00:00 AM).
