Decoding Process: YW5haGVpbQ== to anaheim

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "YW5haGVpbQ==" is padding. Base64 encoding requires the input length to be divisible by 4. When it's not, '=' characters are added as padding. These padding characters are represented as '000000' in binary but are not used in the final decoded output.

Step 1: Map Base64 Characters to Binary

Base64 Character	Binary Value	Decimal Value
Y	011000	24
W	010110	22
5	111001	57
h	100001	33
a	011010	26
G	000110	6
V	010101	21
p	101001	41
b	011011	27
Q	010000	16
=	padding (000000)	-
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

The binary string is grouped into 8-bit chunks (1 byte each):

01100001 01101110 01100001 01101000 01100101 01101001 01101101 0000

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01100001	a
01101110	n
01100001	a
01101000	h
01100101	e
01101001	i
01101101	m
0000

When combined, these characters form the decoded string: "anaheim"
