Decoding Process: c3F1aXJyZWw= to squirrel

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "c3F1aXJyZWw=" 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
F	000101	5
1	110101	53
a	011010	26
X	010111	23
J	001001	9
y	110010	50
Z	011001	25
W	010110	22
w	110000	48
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01110011 01110001 01110101 01101001 01110010 01110010 01100101 01101100 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110011	s
01110001	q
01110101	u
01101001	i
01110010	r
01110010	r
01100101	e
01101100	l
00

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