# Password Generator 🔑
### **Project Description** 📜
This project is a simple password generator written in C. It generates random passwords of a specified length, containing uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. The generated passwords are then saved to a file named "passwords.txt". This is useful for creating strong, unique passwords for various online accounts, enhancing security.
### **Installation Instructions** 💾
1. **Save the code:** Copy the provided C code and save it as a `.c` file (e.g., `password_generator.c`).
2. **Compile the code:** Open a terminal or command prompt and navigate to the directory where you saved the file. Compile the code using a C compiler (like GCC):
```bash
gcc password_generator.c -o password_generator- (Optional) Install a C compiler: If you don't have a C compiler, you'll need to install one. For example, on Debian/Ubuntu systems, you can use:
