Decoding Process: cXVlc3Rpb25uYWlyZQ== to questionnaire

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "cXVlc3Rpb25uYWlyZQ==" 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
X	010111	23
V	010101	21
l	100101	37
c	011100	28
3	110111	55
R	010001	17
p	101001	41
b	011011	27
2	110110	54
5	111001	57
u	101110	46
Y	011000	24
W	010110	22
l	100101	37
y	110010	50
Z	011001	25
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):

01110001 01110101 01100101 01110011 01110100 01101001 01101111 01101110 01101110 01100001 01101001 01110010 01100101 0000

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110001	q
01110101	u
01100101	e
01110011	s
01110100	t
01101001	i
01101111	o
01101110	n
01101110	n
01100001	a
01101001	i
01110010	r
01100101	e
0000

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