I was wondering if it is possible to convert numbers into their corresponding alphabetical value. So

1 -> a
2 -> b

I was planning to make a program which lists all the alphabetical combinations possible for a length specified by a user.

See I know how to build the rest of the program except this! Any help would be wonderful.

1 -> A

2 -> B
