Decoding Process: c2lkZXdhbGs= to sidewalk

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "c2lkZXdhbGs=" 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
c	011100	28
2	110110	54
l	100101	37
k	100100	36
Z	011001	25
X	010111	23
d	011101	29
h	100001	33
b	011011	27
G	000110	6
s	101100	44
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01110011 01101001 01100100 01100101 01110111 01100001 01101100 01101011 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110011	s
01101001	i
01100100	d
01100101	e
01110111	w
01100001	a
01101100	l
01101011	k
00

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