About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "YWNyb255bQ==" 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
N	001101	13
y	110010	50
b	011011	27
2	110110	54
5	111001	57
5	111001	57
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 01100011 01110010 01101111 01101110 01111001 01101101 0000

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01100001	a
01100011	c
01110010	r
01101111	o
01101110	n
01111001	y
01101101	m
0000

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