Java and Python return different values when converting the hexadecimal to long

I noticed this difference when comparing xxhash implementations in both Python and Java languages. Calculated hashes by xxhash library is the same as hexadecimal string, but they are different when I try to get calculated hash as an integer(or long) value.

I am sure that this is some kind of "endian" problem but I couldn’t find how to get the same integer values for both languages.

Any ideas how and why this is happening?

Java Code:

String hexString = "d24ec4f1a98c6e5b";
System.out.println(new BigInteger(hexString,16).longValue());
// printed value -> -3292477735350538661

Python Code:

hexString = "d24ec4f1a98c6e5b"
print(int(hexString, 16))
# printed value -> 15154266338359012955

>Solution :

You converted the BigInteger to long which is the reason for the difference. Because long is a signed 64-bits integer it overflows to a negative. If you just print the BigInteger as it is it gives the same result.

      System.out.println(new BigInteger(hexString,16));
# 15154266338359012955
