generate_random_letters: This function generates a string of random lowercase letters. It uses the random.choices() function from the random module to select characters from the lowercase alphabet. The length of the generated string is set to 5 characters.

The script then checks if it’s being run directly (not imported as a module) using if name == “main”:.

It sets a start time using time.time() and calculates an end time by adding 5 seconds to the start time.

It then enters a loop that runs until the current time exceeds the end time, continuously generating and printing random lowercase letters.

After the loop ends, it prints the final random letters string to ensure it’s displayed properly without being overwritten.

    return random_letters

if __name__ == "__main__":
    start_time = time.time()
    end_time = start_time + 5

    while time.time() < end_time:
        random_letters = generate_random_letters()
        print("\r" + random_letters, end='', flush=True)

    print("\r" + random_letters)
