A quick take on it: function randomLetter() : String { const noVowels : String = "BCDFGHJKLMNPQRSTVWXYZ"; return noVowels.charAt(Math.round(Math.random() * (noVowels.length - 1))); }
function repeat(n : Number, f : Function) : Array { return n > 1 ? repeat(n-1, f).concat(f()) : [f()]; } var result : String = repeat(4, function() : String { return repeat(3, randomLetter).join(""); }).join("-"); -Josh On Tue, Jan 6, 2009 at 11:45 AM, anuj sharma <anuj...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Brendan > makes sense to put the code :-), With the format I was looking for > following code works perfectly for me, I am not sure thats the right way of > coding but this is working for my purpose.
