Decoding Process: bWlzc2lvbnM= to missions

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "bWlzc2lvbnM=" 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
l	100101	37
z	110011	51
c	011100	28
2	110110	54
l	100101	37
v	101111	47
b	011011	27
n	100111	39
M	001100	12
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01101101 01101001 01110011 01110011 01101001 01101111 01101110 01110011 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01101101	m
01101001	i
01110011	s
01110011	s
01101001	i
01101111	o
01101110	n
01110011	s
00

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