Encoding Process: radiohead to cmFkaW9oZWFk

Step 1: Map ASCII Characters to Binary

ASCII CharacterBinary Value
r01110010
a01100001
d01100100
i01101001
o01101111
h01101000
e01100101
a01100001
d01100100

Step 2: Group Bits into 6-bit Chunks

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

011100 100110 000101 100100 011010 010110 111101 101000 011001 010110 000101 100100

Step 3: Convert Binary to Base64

Binary ValueBase64 Character
011100c
100110m
000101F
