Decoding Process: bW9sZGluZw== to molding

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "bW9sZGluZw==" 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
W	010110	22
9	111101	61
s	101100	44
Z	011001	25
G	000110	6
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):

01101101 01101111 01101100 01100100 01101001 01101110 01100111 0000

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01101101	m
01101111	o
01101100	l
01100100	d
01101001	i
01101110	n
01100111	g
0000

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