Sorry to hear that it didn’t work! I was playing with the project. Hopefully this one works, I just double checked before sharing. Id love to see what you come up with also!

This could be further randomised more fairly (i.e. Not follow the pattern that you have created) by first making the app randomly pick between which list the next character will be picked from, then picking from that list. This would make it more fair and means you can have numbers and letters beside each other 🙂
Your idea is fabulous nonetheless.

Weird. Here is a fresh share link. I just tried it to make sure it works.

The random button should initialize as disabled. If not, there’s a problem.

Thank you!! You’re right though. Randomizing the type and placement of each character would be the ideal randomization. The code I posted still creates random strings but there is a pattern to the randomness…

I’m sure there are dozens of ways to do it! When you are done your app I’d love to hear about it!

I was thinking the same. I started building it that way but didn’t have time to finish it yet.

Hi Jared,
how to created number with standard formation? for example 100 to 200. if user click it will get 100 then 101 until 200. once it finish it will repeat from beginning. i dont want random number.

That should be pretty straight-forward.
Initialize variable to 100.
On click
–\>If variable = 200
–\>--\>Change variable to 100
–\>Else
–\>--\>Change variable by 1

Hello
Try this. You can even add more letters or codes.
