JavaScript Program to Generate Random String

To understand this example, you should have the knowledge of the following JavaScript programming topics:


Example 1: Generate Random Strings

Output

B5cgH

In the above example, the Math.random() method is used to generate random characters from the specified characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9).

The for loop is used to loop through the number passed into the generateString() function. During each iteration, a random character is generated.


Example 2: Generate Random Strings Using Built-in Methods

Output

gyjvo

In the above example, built-in methods are used to generate random characters.

The Math.random() method generates the random number between 0 and 1.

In toString(36) method, 36 represents base 36. The toString(36) represents digits beyond 9 by letters.

The substring(2, 7) method returns five characters.

Note: In the above examples, the output varies each time because random characters are generated at every execution.
