Decoding Process: cG9zdHNjcmlwdA== to postscript

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "cG9zdHNjcmlwdA==" 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
G	000110	6
9	111101	61
z	110011	51
d	011101	29
H	000111	7
N	001101	13
j	100011	35
c	011100	28
m	100110	38
l	100101	37
w	110000	48
d	011101	29
A	000000	0
=	padding (000000)	-
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01110000 01101111 01110011 01110100 01110011 01100011 01110010 01101001 01110000 01110100 0000

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110000	p
01101111	o
01110011	s
01110100	t
01110011	s
01100011	c
01110010	r
01101001	i
01110000	p
01110100	t
0000

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