Decoding Process: bmlja2VsYmFjaw== to nickelback

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "bmlja2VsYmFjaw==" 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
m	100110	38
l	100101	37
j	100011	35
a	011010	26
2	110110	54
V	010101	21
s	101100	44
Y	011000	24
m	100110	38
F	000101	5
j	100011	35
a	011010	26
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):

01101110 01101001 01100011 01101011 01100101 01101100 01100010 01100001 01100011 01101011 0000

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01101110	n
01101001	i
01100011	c
01101011	k
01100101	e
01101100	l
01100010	b
01100001	a
01100011	c
01101011	k
0000

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