What are you trying to do? To validate a file you need know the hash in advance. Where you get it from, we have no way of knowing. Maybe it is written on some web page, maybe you got it by email, maybe your friend wrote it on a piece of paper. Once you have the hash and the actual file, you calculate the hash of the file and compare the two values. If they match, you can be reasonably sure you got the right/unmodified file. To really understand why and how this works, at least read some Wikipedia before trying to implement it. > > Please explain me in detail, what are the two values to be compared and how > to get those two values .
