In this program, you’ll learn how to how to generate a random alphanumeric String in Python.
To properly understand this Generation of the Random alphanumeric string program, you should have the knowledge of following Python programming topics:
- Python Input, Output and Import
- Python random module
To generate any random alphanumeric, UUID function is used in Python. This function is defined in the random module and UUID.
Program to Generate a Random Alphanumeric String
import uuid
def my_random_string(string_length=10):
"""Returns a random string of length string_length."""
# Convert UUID format to a Python string.
random = str(uuid.uuid4())
# Make all characters uppercase.
random = random.upper()
# Remove the UUID '-'.
random = random.replace("-","")
# Return the random string.
return random[0:string_length]
print(my_random_string(6)) # For example, D9E50C
Output:
38B453
Note: we can get a different number and alphabet as this Program generates any random number and alphabet. and numbers will range from 0 – 9 and alphabet will range from A – B, as all alphabet will be capital because we have specified that. The syntax of this random function is:
print(my_random_string(n))
If you want you can change ‘n’ and get desired no output i.e if you put n=9 the output will be 9 characters.
n=1
