I'm not sure why you picked that example - it seems like it should result in 'true'. I notice your logic is not quite right though. Your loop tests each character in turn to see if it is invalid for...

You would normally use that 'break' - or put the validity condition in your loop expression (for, while, do etc) - so that your loop stops as soon as the input is invalid because there's no more...

You should only be using one for loop for this like (pseudo code)
