About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "cGFybGlhbWVudGFyeQ==" 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
F	000101	5
y	110010	50
b	011011	27
G	000110	6
l	100101	37
h	100001	33
b	011011	27
W	010110	22
V	010101	21
u	101110	46
d	011101	29
G	000110	6
F	000101	5
y	110010	50
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):

01110000 01100001 01110010 01101100 01101001 01100001 01101101 01100101 01101110 01110100 01100001 01110010 01111001 0000

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110000	p
01100001	a
01110010	r
01101100	l
01101001	i
01100001	a
01101101	m
01100101	e
01101110	n
01110100	t
01100001	a
01110010	r
01111001	y
0000

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