Decoding Process: c3RyaWtpbmc= to striking

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "c3RyaWtpbmc=" 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
y	110010	50
a	011010	26
W	010110	22
t	101101	45
p	101001	41
b	011011	27
m	100110	38
c	011100	28
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01110011 01110100 01110010 01101001 01101011 01101001 01101110 01100111 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110011	s
01110100	t
01110010	r
01101001	i
01101011	k
01101001	i
01101110	n
01100111	g
00

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