The objective of this article is to Generation of the random alphanumeric string with uppercase and numbers. To generate the random string, we could use the following modules from python,

• random module – for random string generation
• String module – for upper case alphabets

Step 1: Use the string constant string.ascii_uppercase to get all uppercase letters in a single string. The string.ascii_uppercase constant contains all uppercase letters i.e., ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ.

Step 2: Run for loop for x number of times fetch a character from the string constant using random.choice() and append it to string variable using the join function. The choice function is used to fetch a single character.

Example implementation

# importing the modules
import random
import string

# declaring the string length
string_length = 10 

# generating only uppercase
letters = string.ascii_uppercase 
print(''.join(random.choice(letters) for i in range(string_length)))

# generating both uppercase and numbers
letters_digits = string.ascii_uppercase + string.digits 
print(''.join(random.choice(letters_digits) for i in range(string_length)))
