Decoding Process: cGl0Y2Fpcm4= to pitcairn

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "cGl0Y2Fpcm4=" 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
l	100101	37
0	110100	52
Y	011000	24
2	110110	54
F	000101	5
p	101001	41
c	011100	28
m	100110	38
4	111000	56
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01110000 01101001 01110100 01100011 01100001 01101001 01110010 01101110 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110000	p
01101001	i
01110100	t
01100011	c
01100001	a
01101001	i
01110010	r
01101110	n
00

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