How to generate chars?

source

• brute force (aka write them out)
  • complete strings (eg "abc...yz")
  • string arrays (eg ['a', 'b'...'z'])
    • would be v annoying to type out
  • separate categories vs all in one
• ASCII/Unicode range
  • 33-126 code range
  • need to convert back to char
    • String.fromCharCode( )
    • input is sequence of unicode values

randomization

Math.floor(Math.random() * (max-min)) + min
