Welcome to the 3-Character Code Generation Challenge! This challenge tests your ability with string manipulation, random number generation, and boundary handling in JavaScript. Dive in and show your skills! 🌟
Given a string with a length between 3 and 100 inclusive, your task is to generate a unique 3-character code based on specific rules.
- A string
s- Constraints: 3 ≤ |s| ≤ 100 after sanitization
- Only alphanumeric characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9) are considered. Spaces and special characters will be removed.
- A 3-character code representation of the string.
- ✅ The first character of the code should always be the first character of the sanitized string.
- ✅ The second character of the code can be any character from the sanitized string, but its position in the string must be strictly greater than the position of the first character. In essence, it should be picked randomly from the 2nd character of the string up to the penultimate character.
- ✅ The third character of the code should also be picked randomly. However, its position in the sanitized string should come strictly after the position of the second character.
Keyword Highlights: randomly, position, string, sanitization
Given string: challenge!
Sanitized string: challenge
Possible outputs: cae, clg, cne, etc.
The solution should be implemented in JavaScript. We're looking forward to seeing a solution that's robust and can handle a variety of edge cases. Flex your coding muscles! 💪
- Node.js: Ensure you have Node.js installed on your machine.
- npm: Node Package Manager should also be installed.
To run the project, navigate to the project directory and execute the following command:
