password = generate_password(10)

Explanation:

• The generate_password method takes an optional parameter length and a list of symbols.
• The chars variable contains all the possible characters that can be used to generate the password - lowercase and uppercase letters, digits and the provided symbols.
• The password variable is initialized as an empty string.
• A loop is run length number of times. In each iteration, a random character is selected from the chars array using the sample method and added to the password array.
• Finally, the password array is joined to form a string and returned.
