转化数字字符为字符串

【题目】
规定1和A对应，2和B对应，3和C对应,1-26对应26个字母
那么一个数字字符串比如“111”，就可以转化为“AAA”，或者是“KA”，或者是“KA”
给定一个只有数字组成的额字符串str，问返回有多少种转化结果

public class ConvertToLetterString {

    private static int number(String str){
        if (null == str || str.length() == 0){
            return 0;
        }
        char[] chars = str.toCharArray();
        return process(chars,0);
    }

    private static int process(char[] chars, int i) {
        if (i == chars.length){
            return 1;
        }
        if (chars[i] == '0'){
            return 0;
        }
        if ('1' == chars[i]){
            int res = process(chars, i+1);
            if (i+1 < chars.length){
                res += process(chars, i+2);
            }
            return res;
        }
        if ('2' == chars[i]){
            int res = process(chars, i+1);
            if (i+1 < chars.length && chars[i+1] >= '0' && chars[i+1] <= '6'){
                res += process(chars, i+2);
            }
            return res;
        }
        return process(chars, i+1);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int number = number("1111");
        System.out.println(number);
    }
}
