Yes that's definitely better, I've done so.

ha, that's typo I was working so long on it that got mixed up.
and yes with 'd' it works :-)

The problem was with that 'b' at the end, now it solved.

Well :-) I tried to do shorter version of the previous code to do not do
for loop for every character, range
supposed to be for how long the password is, in this case four
characters, once the 4character combination is made add it to the list,
similarly to the previous code but.... my logic is wrong here.
I don't have clue hot to tell: get a letter for 1 get for 2 get for 3
and get for 4.

For me is even not debbuging code is important but to do
what I want and in that case is that what I mention earlier four
letters picked and add them to the list, and today again I seat on it
and just nothing lol.
