Decoding Process: ZGFuY2luZw== to dancing

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "ZGFuY2luZw==" 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
u	101110	46
Y	011000	24
2	110110	54
l	100101	37
u	101110	46
Z	011001	25
w	110000	48
=	padding (000000)	-
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01100100 01100001 01101110 01100011 01101001 01101110 01100111 0000

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01100100	d
01100001	a
01101110	n
01100011	c
01101001	i
01101110	n
01100111	g
0000

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