Decoding Process: cGl6emE= to pizza

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "cGl6emE=" 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
6	111010	58
e	011110	30
m	100110	38
E	000100	4
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01110000 01101001 01111010 01111010 01100001 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110000	p
01101001	i
01111010	z
01111010	z
01100001	a
00

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