Question

I want to construct the array ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', ..., 'z'] in a clean way. The best I have found is

'a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z'.split(' ');

I wonder if there is a more “programmatic” approach.

Answer 1

Well, this can be shortened a bit to:

'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'.split('');

But let me think of another way …

EDIT … nope, I don’t think there’s a faster way than Guffa’s
