const size = 16;
const charSet =

NOTE

• The other in which size and, customSet, alphanum, alpha or alnum is called does not affect the output.
• As mentioned or demonstrated, when size is not called the default value of size is 6 and when neither customSet, alphanum, alpha nor alnum is called, the default character set used is alnum.
