About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "Z29sZGJlcmc=" 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
Z	011001	25
2	110110	54
9	111101	61
s	101100	44
Z	011001	25
G	000110	6
J	001001	9
l	100101	37
c	011100	28
m	100110	38
c	011100	28
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01100111 01101111 01101100 01100100 01100010 01100101 01110010 01100111 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01100111	g
01101111	o
01101100	l
01100100	d
01100010	b
01100101	e
01110010	r
01100111	g
00

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