random strings in c++ code example

Example 1: random string c++

#include <string>

string  gen_random(int len) {
    string s;
    static const char alphanum[] =
        "0123456789"
        "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"
        "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";

    for (int i = 0; i < len; ++i) {
        s += alphanum[rand() % (sizeof(alphanum) - 1)];
    }

    return s;
}

Example 2: int random string generator c++

string  gen_random(int len) {
        string s;
        static const char alphanum[] =
            "0123456789"
            "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"
            "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";

        for (int i = 0; i < len; ++i) {
            s+= alphanum[rand() % (sizeof(alphanum) - 1)];
             }

     return s;
