About the '=' Padding

Base64 encoding requires the input length (in bytes) to be divisible by 3. If it's not, padding is added: One '=' character is added when the input length modulo 3 equals 2. This ensures the encoded output is properly aligned.

Step 1: Map ASCII Characters to Binary

ASCII Character	Binary Value
s	01110011
y	01111001
m	01101101
p	01110000
a	01100001
t	01110100
h	01101000
e	01100101
t	01110100
i	01101001
c	01100011

Step 2: Group Bits into 6-bit Chunks

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

011100 110111 100101 101101 011100 000110 000101 110100 011010 000110 010101 110100 011010 010110 0011

Step 3: Convert Binary to Base64

Binary Value	Base64 Character
011100	c
110111	3
100101	l
101101	t
011100	c
000110	G
000101	F
110100	0
011010	a
000110	G
010101	V
110100	0
011010	a
010110	W
0011	M

When combined, these characters form the encoded string: "c3ltcGF0aGV0aWM="
