Decoding Process: cHVyc3VpdA== to pursuit

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "cHVyc3VpdA==" 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
V	010101	21
y	110010	50
c	011100	28
3	110111	55
V	010101	21
p	101001	41
d	011101	29
A	000000	0
=	padding (000000)	-
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01110000 01110101 01110010 01110011 01110101 01101001 01110100 0000

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110000	p
01110101	u
01110010	r
01110011	s
01110101	u
01101001	i
01110100	t
0000

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