[Base64](https://sodocumentation.net/python/topic/8678/the-base64-module) coding refers to encoding data from binary to text. This translates binary data to a radix-64 format in order to represent binary data in an ASCII string format.

There are many methods that are part of the Python `base64` module. **`base64.a85encode`** is one of the methods of the `base64` library. `a85encode` is used to encode bytes-like objects to ASCII using the ASCII85 alphabet. 

# Syntax
```
base64.a85encode(b, foldspaces=False, wrapcol=0, pad=False, adobe=False)
```
1. `b`: A bytes-like object.

2. `foldspaces`: If `True`, the 4 consecutive spaces will be replaced by a character `y`. 

3. `wrapcol`: Refers to the count of characters before a new line is encountered. 

4. ` pad`: If `True`, the bytes-like object is padded in a multiple of 4.

5. `adobe`: If `True`, the encoded string is written between `<~` and `~>`.

> The parameters do not have a significant impact when `False`.





import base64

# Data
data = "Welcome to Educative"
print("data:", data)
# converting the data to bytes-form
data_bytes = data.encode("UTF-8")
# perform the a85 encode function
result = base64.a85encode(data_bytes)
result1 = base64.a85encode(data_bytes, adobe=True)
print("a85encoded: ", result)
print("with adobe: ", result1)

## We can use a85decode function to perform reverse operation.

result1 = base64.a85decode(result)
print("a85decoded: ", result1)
