Is there a natural way of generating/filling a string/wstring/dstring of a specific length with random contents?

Do you mean something like this?


import std.stdio, std.random, std.ascii, std.range, std.conv;

string genRandomString(in size_t len) {
    return len
           .iota
           .map!(_ => lowercase[uniform(0, $)])
           .text;
}

void main() {
    import std.stdio;

    10.genRandomString.writeln;
}


Bye,

Alternative:

randomSample(lowercase, 10, lowercase.length).writeln;
