Encoding Process: mclean to bWNsZWFu

Step 1: Map ASCII Characters to Binary

ASCII CharacterBinary Value
m01101101
c01100011
l01101100
e01100101
a01100001
n01101110

Step 2: Group Bits into 6-bit Chunks

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

011011 010110 001101 101100 011001 010110 000101 101110

Step 3: Convert Binary to Base64

Binary ValueBase64 Character
011011b
010110W
001101N
101100s
011001Z
010110W
000101F
101110u

When combined, these characters form the encoded string: "bWNsZWFu"
