Decoding Process: c3BhY2U= to space

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "c3BhY2U=" 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
3	110111	55
B	000001	1
h	100001	33
Y	011000	24
2	110110	54
U	010100	20
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01110011 01110000 01100001 01100011 01100101 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110011	s
01110000	p
01100001	a
01100011	c
01100101	e
00

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