Hi List,
I am a newcomer doing my obligatory struggling with Haskell's type system,
and I've got a nut I've not been able to crack. Given:
import Random
random_test :: Int -> String
random_test n = do
g <- getStdGen
take n (randoms g)::String
I'm expecting that I ought to be able to pass this action an integer and get
back a random string that long (given, not all characters may be printable).
If you only need an arbitrary sequence and it is ok for you to get always
the same one, you can construct a random generator using mkStdGen.
