// hash.update() demo Example
// Importing the crypto module
const crypto = require('crypto');
// Defining the hash
const hash = crypto.createHash('sha256');
// Updating the hash value
hash.update('Welcome to TutorialsPoint');
// Displaying the hash value after copying
console.log("Hash is: " + hash.copy.digest('hex'));Output

Example 2
// hash.update() demo Example
// Importing the crypto module
const crypto = require('crypto');
// Defining the hash
const hash = crypto.createHash('sha256');
// Updating the hash value
hash.update('Tutorials Point - SIMPLY LEARNING');
// Creating copies
const copy1 = hash.copy();
const copy2 = hash.copy();
// Displaying the hash value after copying
console.log("Original Hash is: " + hash.digest('hex'));
console.log("Copy1 Hash is: " + copy1.digest('hex'));
console.log("Copy2 Hash is: " + copy2.digest('hex'));Output
