Solution 1 - Base-26 Conversion (Left to Right)
Treat the column title as a base-26 number where A=1, B=2, ..., Z=26. Process each character from left to right, multiplying the running total by 26 and adding the current character's value.
Solution 2 - Using enumerate() and pow() (Right to Left)
Process the string from right to left. Each character contributes its value multiplied by 26 raised to the power of its position index (0-indexed from the right).
