Motivation / Background
This Pull Request has been created because
Faker::Number.hexadecimal
returns characters within the range of [0-9a-e], when it should return characters within the range of [0-9a-f]. The method is not producing thef
character within the generated hexadecimal strings.Additional Information
The current implementation (above) includes
rand(15)
, which is not inclusive and only returns the range [0-14], when the implementation requires [0-15] in order to return thef
character. Adjusting the current implementation to returnrand(16).to_s(16)
allows theFaker::Number.hexadecimal
method to return strings within the full character range (including the letterf
, which is equal to15.to_s(16)
).Checklist
