Decoding Process: c3VzdGFpbmluZw== to sustaining

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "c3VzdGFpbmluZw==" 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
V	010101	21
z	110011	51
d	011101	29
G	000110	6
F	000101	5
p	101001	41
b	011011	27
m	100110	38
l	100101	37
u	101110	46
Z	011001	25
w	110000	48
=	padding (000000)	-
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01110011 01110101 01110011 01110100 01100001 01101001 01101110 01101001 01101110 01100111 0000

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110011	s
01110101	u
01110011	s
01110100	t
01100001	a
01101001	i
01101110	n
01101001	i
01101110	n
01100111	g
0000

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