Decoding Process: cHN5Y2hvbG9neQ== to psychology

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "cHN5Y2hvbG9neQ==" 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
v	101111	47
b	011011	27
G	000110	6
9	111101	61
n	100111	39
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 01110011 01111001 01100011 01101000 01101111 01101100 01101111 01100111 01111001 0000

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110000	p
01110011	s
01111001	y
01100011	c
01101000	h
01101111	o
01101100	l
01101111	o
01100111	g
01111001	y
0000

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