> Why define the alphabet? Just use decimal values for the asci char set.
So, just because I'm bored, in the unrolled loop I created I change the
alphabet to Raymond's chr:
<cfset random_word = random_word & chr(randRange(65,90))>
The speed increase was fairly slight:
Original code (executed 1000 times): 9994 ms (average)
Unrolled code (executed 1000 times): 1993 ms (average)
Unrolled w/chr (executed 1000 times): 1932 ms (average)
But it looks much nicer than repeating the alphabet in each line.
I was going to mention that when I generate passwords I tend to NOT use the
letters O, I and L and the numbers 1 and 0. Those create too many "my
password doesn't work!" tech support calls.
