Decoding Process: YWJzb2x1dGU= to absolute

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "YWJzb2x1dGU=" 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
J	001001	9
z	110011	51
b	011011	27
2	110110	54
x	110001	49
1	110101	53
d	011101	29
G	000110	6
U	010100	20
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01100001 01100010 01110011 01101111 01101100 01110101 01110100 01100101 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01100001	a
01100010	b
01110011	s
01101111	o
01101100	l
01110101	u
01110100	t
01100101	e
00

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