it didnt go into detail about the purpose of the = / == padding.
and it also didnt show in the example how to handle data that can not be devided into groups of 6 bits without bits left over.
i think i have an understanding of how to do it but it would be nice to be certain.
could someone address the following 2 questions in a short and exhaustive way:
- when do you use =, when do you use == and do you always add = / == or are there cases where you dont add = / == ?
- how to precisely handle leftover bits. for example the string "5byte". and is there anything to consider when decoding?
