Decoding Process: c3RhbmRieQ== to standby

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "c3RhbmRieQ==" 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
R	010001	17
h	100001	33
b	011011	27
m	100110	38
R	010001	17
i	100010	34
e	011110	30
Q	010000	16
=	padding (000000)	-
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01110011 01110100 01100001 01101110 01100100 01100010 01111001 0000

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110011	s
01110100	t
01100001	a
01101110	n
01100100	d
01100010	b
01111001	y
0000

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