class RandomWords::Generator

def characters(min, max = nil, whole_words: true, whitespace: true, dead_switch: 0)

Returns:
  • (String) - The generated string of random words

Parameters:
  • dead_switch (Integer) -- (Optional) A counter to prevent infinite loops
  • whole_words (Boolean) -- (Optional) Whether to generate whole words or not
  • max (Integer) -- (Optional) The maximum length of the generated string
  • min (Integer) -- The minimum length of the generated string
