Decoding Process: cHN5Y2hpYXRyaWM= to psychiatric

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "cHN5Y2hpYXRyaWM=" 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
H	000111	7
N	001101	13
5	111001	57
Y	011000	24
2	110110	54
h	100001	33
p	101001	41
Y	011000	24
X	010111	23
R	010001	17
y	110010	50
a	011010	26
W	010110	22
M	001100	12
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01110000 01110011 01111001 01100011 01101000 01101001 01100001 01110100 01110010 01101001 01100011 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110000	p
01110011	s
01111001	y
01100011	c
01101000	h
01101001	i
01100001	a
01110100	t
01110010	r
01101001	i
01100011	c
00

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