Decoding Process: cm9hZG1hcA== to roadmap

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "cm9hZG1hcA==" 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
m	100110	38
9	111101	61
h	100001	33
Z	011001	25
G	000110	6
1	110101	53
h	100001	33
c	011100	28
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):

01110010 01101111 01100001 01100100 01101101 01100001 01110000 0000

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110010	r
01101111	o
01100001	a
01100100	d
01101101	m
01100001	a
01110000	p
0000

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