Encoding Process: brett to YnJldHQ=

Step 1: Map ASCII Characters to Binary

ASCII CharacterBinary Value
b01100010
r01110010
e01100101
t01110100
t01110100

Step 2: Group Bits into 6-bit Chunks

The binary string is grouped into 6-bit chunks for Base64 encoding:

011000 100111 001001 100101 011101 000111 0100

Step 3: Convert Binary to Base64

Binary ValueBase64 Character
011000Y
100111n
001001J
100101l
011101d
000111H
0100Q

When combined, these characters form the encoded string: "YnJldHQ="
