About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "dGV4dGJvb2s=" 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
G	000110	6
V	010101	21
4	111000	56
d	011101	29
G	000110	6
J	001001	9
v	101111	47
b	011011	27
2	110110	54
s	101100	44
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

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

01110100 01100101 01111000 01110100 01100010 01101111 01101111 01101011 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110100	t
01100101	e
01111000	x
01110100	t
01100010	b
01101111	o
01101111	o
01101011	k
00

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