About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "b3ByYWg=" 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
y	110010	50
Y	011000	24
W	010110	22
g	100000	32
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01101111 01110000 01110010 01100001 01101000 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01101111	o
01110000	p
01110010	r
01100001	a
01101000	h
00

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