Decoding Process: cmhhcHNvZHk= to rhapsody

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "cmhhcHNvZHk=" 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
h	100001	33
h	100001	33
c	011100	28
H	000111	7
N	001101	13
v	101111	47
Z	011001	25
H	000111	7
k	100100	36
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01110010 01101000 01100001 01110000 01110011 01101111 01100100 01111001 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110010	r
01101000	h
01100001	a
01110000	p
01110011	s
01101111	o
01100100	d
01111001	y
00

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