Is there a built-in method / module in Python to generate letters such as the built-in constant LETTERS or letters constant in R?
The R built-in constant works as letters[n]
where if n = 1:26
the lower-case letters of the alphabet are produced.
Thanks.
To produce a range of letters (characters) in Python, you have to write a custom function that: Takes start and end characters as input. Converts start and end to numbers using ord() function. Generates a range of numbers between start and end.
A sequence is just a set of two or more characters and an escape where the sequence begins with a backslash (\\) and other characters in the set follow that backslash.
The easiest way to load a list of all the letters of the alphabet is to use the string. ascii_letters , string. ascii_lowercase , and string. ascii_uppercase instances.
It's called string.ascii_lowercase
.
If you wanted to pick n many random lower case letters, then:
from string import ascii_lowercase from random import choice letters = [choice(ascii_lowercase) for _ in range(5)]
If you wanted it as a string, rather than a list then use str.join
:
letters = ''.join([choice(ascii_lowercase) for _ in range(5)])
