Random string generation with upper case letters and digits
Here is a simple function that generates a random string of a given length using upper case letters and digits:
import random
import string
def generate_random_string(length):
return ''.join(random.choices(string.ascii_uppercase + string.digits, k=length))
# Example
print(generate_random_string(8))
This will generate a random string of length 8, containing upper case letters and digits. You can adjust the length
parameter to generate strings of different lengths.

You can also use the random.sample
function to achieve the same result:
import random
import string
def generate_random_string(length):
return ''.join(random.sample(string.ascii_uppercase + string.digits, k=length))
# Example
print(generate_random_string(8))
Both of these approaches use the string
module's ascii_uppercase
and digits
constants to generate the random strings. The ascii_uppercase
constant contains all upper case letters, and the digits
constant contains all digits.
