randstring
.. randstring([rng,] len=8)
Create a random ASCII string of length ``len``, consisting of upper- and
lower-case letters and the digits 0-9. The optional ``rng`` argument
specifies a random number generator, see :ref:`Random Numbers <random-numbers>`.Examples
The randstring function in Julia generates a random ASCII string of a specified length. It consists of upper- and lower-case letters and the digits 0-9. The function also accepts an optional random number generator argument.
julia> randstring(10)
"3w8H7kXu2h"
julia> randstring(5)
"y9V7Z"
julia> randstring(12)
"yW7jFy2o1j9A"In the above examples, randstring generates random strings of lengths 10, 5, and 12, respectively.
You can also provide a random number generator as an optional argument:
julia> rng = Random.MersenneTwister(1234); # Create a specific random number generator
julia> randstring(rng, 8)
"MIuYaP0v"
julia> randstring(rng, 6)
"T9B0Ez"
julia> randstring(rng, 9)
"v8vH2A2DN"In this example, the rng argument is passed to randstring to use a specific random number generator (MersenneTwister in this case).
Please note that the exact output of randstring will vary each time you run it due to its random nature.
