About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "b3B0aW1pc20=" 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
3	110111	55
B	000001	1
0	110100	52
a	011010	26
W	010110	22
1	110101	53
p	101001	41
c	011100	28
2	110110	54
0	110100	52
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01101111 01110000 01110100 01101001 01101101 01101001 01110011 01101101 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01101111	o
01110000	p
01110100	t
01101001	i
01101101	m
01101001	i
01110011	s
01101101	m
00

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