+What Should Be Corrected:
+
+Avoid setting randomizer = rand() % 4; multiple times inside the loop
+
+Move the call to rand() % 4 inside the loop once per iteration instead of repeating it inside each if block to reduce redundancy and improve clarity.
+
+Simplify the character selection logic
+
+Instead of multiple if-else branches, use a single switch-case or array lookup to select the character set, which makes the code easier to read and maintain.
+
+Add null-termination ('\0') to the password array
+
+Since the password is a string, terminate it properly with a null character (password[N] = '\0';) to prevent undefined behavior when treated as a string.
+
+Separate password generation and output
+
+Don’t call printf inside the loop; instead, build the password fully, then print it once. This improves separation of concerns and makes the code cleaner.
+
+Seed the random number generator (srand) only once
+
+Call srand(time(NULL)); once before generating passwords, not inside the password generation function if called multiple times, to avoid resetting the seed repeatedly.
+
+(Optional) Ensure password contains at least one character from each category
+
+To improve password strength, add logic that guarantees the presence of at least one number, one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, and one symbol.
