Decoding Process: dW5kZXJncmFkdWF0ZQ== to undergraduate

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "dW5kZXJncmFkdWF0ZQ==" 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
W	010110	22
5	111001	57
k	100100	36
Z	011001	25
X	010111	23
J	001001	9
n	100111	39
c	011100	28
m	100110	38
F	000101	5
k	100100	36
d	011101	29
W	010110	22
F	000101	5
0	110100	52
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):

01110101 01101110 01100100 01100101 01110010 01100111 01110010 01100001 01100100 01110101 01100001 01110100 01100101 0000

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110101	u
01101110	n
01100100	d
01100101	e
01110010	r
01100111	g
01110010	r
01100001	a
01100100	d
01110101	u
01100001	a
01110100	t
01100101	e
0000

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