Decoding Process: YnVkZGhpc20= to buddhism

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "YnVkZGhpc20=" 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
n	100111	39
V	010101	21
k	100100	36
Z	011001	25
G	000110	6
h	100001	33
p	101001	41
c	011100	28
2	110110	54
0	110100	52
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01100010 01110101 01100100 01100100 01101000 01101001 01110011 01101101 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01100010	b
01110101	u
01100100	d
01100100	d
01101000	h
01101001	i
01110011	s
01101101	m
00

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