Let's assume that you have the following function:
javascriptconst randomChar = () => { let alphabet = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'; return alphabet[~~(Math.random() * alphabet.length)]; }
Now, you want repeat the execution of a JavaScript function n
times and concatenate it with different results.
If n
is small, let's say n < 5
:
javascript// If the string is short, you could write the concatenation manually let x_4 = randomChar() + randomChar() + randomChar() + randomChar(); console.log(res); // gerx
If n
is large, let's say n >= 5
:
javascript// If you want a random string of e.g. n = 50 chars // The first solution would be a for loop for(var i = 0, x_50 = ''; i < 50; i ++){ x_50 += randomChar(); } console.log(x_50); // gtuwjjxqgmpbmviluprsnbvfawrrmeeanwwvgecrgcwijomsgq
If the previous solution seems too long, consider the following alternative:
javascript// You can use the reduce function with an array of size 50 // The previous solution is quicker, but this one is shorter let x_50 = Array(50).fill().reduce(acc => acc + randomChar(), ''); console.log(x_50); // sowdyufypborbgzzlmtkzxfcjfdviavuoqyglgnjwufsfjaene
