About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "d2F0ZXJsb28=" 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
d	011101	29
2	110110	54
F	000101	5
0	110100	52
Z	011001	25
X	010111	23
J	001001	9
s	101100	44
b	011011	27
2	110110	54
8	111100	60
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01110111 01100001 01110100 01100101 01110010 01101100 01101111 01101111 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110111	w
01100001	a
01110100	t
01100101	e
01110010	r
01101100	l
01101111	o
01101111	o
00

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