Decoding Process: YWJzb3JiZWQ= to absorbed

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "YWJzb3JiZWQ=" 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
3	110111	55
J	001001	9
i	100010	34
Z	011001	25
W	010110	22
Q	010000	16
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01100001 01100010 01110011 01101111 01110010 01100010 01100101 01100100 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01100001	a
01100010	b
01110011	s
01101111	o
01110010	r
01100010	b
01100101	e
01100100	d
00

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