Decoding Process: ZGF0YXR5cGU= to datatype

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "ZGF0YXR5cGU=" 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
G	000110	6
F	000101	5
0	110100	52
Y	011000	24
X	010111	23
R	010001	17
5	111001	57
c	011100	28
G	000110	6
U	010100	20
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01100100 01100001 01110100 01100001 01110100 01111001 01110000 01100101 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01100100	d
01100001	a
01110100	t
01100001	a
01110100	t
01111001	y
01110000	p
01100101	e
00

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