Chessboard

Instructions
As a chess enthusiast, you would like to write your own version of the game. Yes, there maybe plenty of implementations of chess available online already, but yours will be unique!
But before you can let your imagination run wild, you need to take care of the basics. Let's start by generating the board.
Each square of the chessboard is identified by a letter-number pair. The vertical columns of squares, called files, are labeled A through H. The horizontal rows of squares, called ranks, are numbered 1 to 8.
1. Define the rank range
Implement the rank_range() function. It should return a range of integers, from 1 to 8.
julia> rank_range()
# output omitted2. Define the file range
Implement the file_range() function.
It should return a range of characters, from the uppercase letter A, to the uppercase letter H.
julia> file_range()
# output omitted3. Transform the rank range into a vector of ranks
Implement the ranks() function. It should return a vector of integers, from 1 to 8.
Do not write the vector by hand, generate it from the range returned by the rank_range() function.
julia> ranks()
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]4. Transform the file range into a vector of files
Implement the files function. It should return a vector of characters, from 'A' to 'H'.
Do not write the vector by hand, generate it from the range returned by the file_range() function.
julia> files()
['A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F', 'G', 'H']Chessboard
