Another way to create a string of lowercase letters?

I'm trying to create a function that will create a string of as many lowercase characters from a-z as specified by the input.

Here's my code, which does work:

function [y] = func1(x)
s = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz';
n = length(s);
slength = x;
y = s(round(rand(1,slength)*n));
end

How can I write this function instead using the randi and char built-in functions?

Try this:

stringLength = 40;
str = char(randi([97, 122], 1, stringLength))
