I am writing a computer program which generate 5 digit alpha-numeric codes. Each character can contain a-z,A-Z and 0-9 (62 different possibility per character).

Every character can have $62$ different possibility as you said, so the total possible combinations of 5 character would be $62\times62\times62\times62\times62=62^5$.
