Decoding Process: b2JpdHVhcnk= to obituary

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "b2JpdHVhcnk=" 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
b	011011	27
2	110110	54
J	001001	9
p	101001	41
d	011101	29
H	000111	7
V	010101	21
h	100001	33
c	011100	28
n	100111	39
k	100100	36
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01101111 01100010 01101001 01110100 01110101 01100001 01110010 01111001 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01101111	o
01100010	b
01101001	i
01110100	t
01110101	u
01100001	a
01110010	r
01111001	y
00

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