Decoding Process: YWZmaXJtZWQ= to affirmed

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "YWZmaXJtZWQ=" 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
Z	011001	25
m	100110	38
a	011010	26
X	010111	23
J	001001	9
t	101101	45
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 01100110 01100110 01101001 01110010 01101101 01100101 01100100 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01100001	a
01100110	f
01100110	f
01101001	i
01110010	r
01101101	m
01100101	e
01100100	d
00

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