Example

The following example shows the usage of java.util.UUID.getLeastSignificantBits()

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.util.*;

public class UUIDDemo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {

      // creating UUID      
      UUID uid = UUID.fromString("38400000-8cf0-11bd-b23e-10b96e4ef00d");     

      // checking least significant bits
      System.out.println("Least significant bits: "+uid.getLeastSignificantBits());    
   }    
}

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result.
