Randomly generates a string of given length ASCII characters with custom user-defined bytestring, with [`choose`].
Randomly generates a string of given length ASCII characters with custom
user-defined bytestring, with [`gen_range`].
```rust
extern crate rand;
use rand::seq::SliceRandom;
fn main() {
const CHARSET: &[u8] = b"ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ\
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz\
0123456789)(*&^%$#@!~";

abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz\
0123456789)(*&^%$#@!~";
const PASSWORD_LEN: usize = 30;
let mut rng = rand::thread_rng();
let password: Option<String> = (0..30)
.map(|_| Some(*CHARSET.choose(&mut rng)? as char))
let password: String = (0..PASSWORD_LEN)
.map(|_| {
let idx = rng.gen_range(0, CHARSET.len());
// This is safe because `idx` is in range of `CHARSET`
char::from(unsafe { *CHARSET.get_unchecked(idx) })
})
.collect();
println!("{:?}", password);
}
