Decoding Process: ZXBpbGVwc3k= to epilepsy

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "ZXBpbGVwc3k=" 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
X	010111	23
B	000001	1
p	101001	41
b	011011	27
G	000110	6
V	010101	21
w	110000	48
c	011100	28
3	110111	55
k	100100	36
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01100101 01110000 01101001 01101100 01100101 01110000 01110011 01111001 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01100101	e
01110000	p
01101001	i
01101100	l
01100101	e
01110000	p
01110011	s
01111001	y
00

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