Random Character Generation

Now use the rand function to make your own function for generating random letters of the alphabet. It should only generate lower case letters a-z.

We supply a function in MCPrelude called toLetter. Use the toLetter function to write this random letter function:

randLetter :: Seed -> (Char, Seed)

Now use this function to write another function randString3 that generates a random string of three letters using an initial seed of 1.

randString3 :: String

When you use this site to calculate the SHA-256 hash of the output of randString3, you get 9d475eb78d3e38085220ed6ebde9d8f7d26540bb1c8f9382479c3acd4c8c94a3.
