Generates a vectors of all the words from a given alphabet, with right positions varying faster, for instance if the alphabet is (c("0","1") and the length is 2 you will obtain c("00", "01", "10", "11")

Usage

words(length = 3, alphabet = s2c("acgt"))

Arguments

length	the number of characters in the words
alphabet	a vector of characters

Value

A vector of string whith length characters.
