Random string generation with upper case letters and digits in Python?

Updated on February 3, 2023

You can use the random module and the string module to generate a random string of a specified length that includes upper case letters and digits. Here's an example function that generates a random string of length n:

 
import random
import string

def generate_random_string(n):
    return ''.join(random.choices(string.ascii_uppercase + string.digits, k=n))

print(generate_random_string(10))

This function first imports the random and string modules, then defines a function called generate_random_string that takes an argument n for the length of the string to be generated. The function uses the random.choices() method to randomly select characters from the string.ascii_uppercase (uppercase letters) and string.digits (digits) strings, concatenates them, and join them to form a string of length n.
