Hashing strings and files

Basic hashing operation

Report a typo

Edwin is a movie fanatic! He wants to create a Go program that takes as input a string with a famous password used in movies, then computes the MD5 and SHA-256 hash values of it, and finally prints it in hexadecimal notation.

Edwin isn't a Go expert, so he has only written the required code to save the input within the famousPwd variable. Your task is to help him write the additional code required to compute the hash values.

Sample Input 1:

Zion0101

Sample Output 1:

Write a program in Go

package main

import (

"crypto/md5"

"crypto/sha256"

"fmt"

)

func main() {

// DO NOT delete this code block! it takes as an input the famous movie password

var famousPwd string

fmt.Scanln(&famousPwd)

// Use the correct function to create 'new' MD5 Hash and SHA-256 Hash interfaces below:

md5Hash := md5.?

sha256Hash := sha256.?

// Call the correct method that adds the 'famousPwd' to the hash that will be calculated:

md5Hash.?([]byte(?))

sha256Hash.?([]byte(?))

// Call the method that returns the computed hash slice

// And print the hash in hexadecimal notation below:

fmt.Printf("%x\n", md5Hash.?(nil))

fmt.Printf("%x\n", sha256Hash.?(nil))

}
