<p>A message containing letters from <code>A-Z</code> can be <strong>encoded</strong> into numbers using the following mapping:</p>

<pre>
&#39;A&#39; -&gt; &quot;1&quot;
&#39;B&#39; -&gt; &quot;2&quot;
...
&#39;Z&#39; -&gt; &quot;26&quot;
</pre>

<p>To <strong>decode</strong> an encoded message, all the digits must be grouped then mapped back into letters using the reverse of the mapping above (there may be multiple ways). For example, <code>&quot;11106&quot;</code> can be mapped into:</p>

<ul>
	<li><code>&quot;AAJF&quot;</code> with the grouping <code>(1 1 10 6)</code></li>
	<li><code>&quot;KJF&quot;</code> with the grouping <code>(11 10 6)</code></li>
</ul>

<p>Note that the grouping <code>(1 11 06)</code> is invalid because <code>&quot;06&quot;</code> cannot be mapped into <code>&#39;F&#39;</code> since <code>&quot;6&quot;</code> is different from <code>&quot;06&quot;</code>.</p>

<p><strong>In addition</strong> to the mapping above, an encoded message may contain the <code>&#39;*&#39;</code> character, which can represent any digit from <code>&#39;1&#39;</code> to <code>&#39;9&#39;</code> (<code>&#39;0&#39;</code> is excluded). For example, the encoded message <code>&quot;1*&quot;</code> may represent any of the encoded messages <code>&quot;11&quot;</code>, <code>&quot;12&quot;</code>, <code>&quot;13&quot;</code>, <code>&quot;14&quot;</code>, <code>&quot;15&quot;</code>, <code>&quot;16&quot;</code>, <code>&quot;17&quot;</code>, <code>&quot;18&quot;</code>, or <code>&quot;19&quot;</code>. Decoding <code>&quot;1*&quot;</code> is equivalent to decoding <strong>any</strong> of the encoded messages it can represent.</p>

<p>Given a string <code>s</code> consisting of digits and <code>&#39;*&#39;</code> characters, return <em>the <strong>number</strong> of ways to <strong>decode</strong> it</em>.</p>

<p>Since the answer may be very large, return it <strong>modulo</strong> <code>10<sup>9</sup> + 7</code>.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Example 1:</strong></p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> s = &quot;*&quot;
<strong>Output:</strong> 9
<strong>Explanation:</strong> The encoded message can represent any of the encoded messages &quot;1&quot;, &quot;2&quot;, &quot;3&quot;, &quot;4&quot;, &quot;5&quot;, &quot;6&quot;, &quot;7&quot;, &quot;8&quot;, or &quot;9&quot;.
Each of these can be decoded to the strings &quot;A&quot;, &quot;B&quot;, &quot;C&quot;, &quot;D&quot;, &quot;E&quot;, &quot;F&quot;, &quot;G&quot;, &quot;H&quot;, and &quot;I&quot; respectively.
Hence, there are a total of 9 ways to decode &quot;*&quot;.
</pre>

<p><strong>Example 2:</strong></p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> s = &quot;1*&quot;
<strong>Output:</strong> 18
<strong>Explanation:</strong> The encoded message can represent any of the encoded messages &quot;11&quot;, &quot;12&quot;, &quot;13&quot;, &quot;14&quot;, &quot;15&quot;, &quot;16&quot;, &quot;17&quot;, &quot;18&quot;, or &quot;19&quot;.
Each of these encoded messages have 2 ways to be decoded (e.g. &quot;11&quot; can be decoded to &quot;AA&quot; or &quot;K&quot;).
Hence, there are a total of 9 * 2 = 18 ways to decode &quot;1*&quot;.
</pre>

<p><strong>Example 3:</strong></p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> s = &quot;2*&quot;
<strong>Output:</strong> 15
<strong>Explanation:</strong> The encoded message can represent any of the encoded messages &quot;21&quot;, &quot;22&quot;, &quot;23&quot;, &quot;24&quot;, &quot;25&quot;, &quot;26&quot;, &quot;27&quot;, &quot;28&quot;, or &quot;29&quot;.
&quot;21&quot;, &quot;22&quot;, &quot;23&quot;, &quot;24&quot;, &quot;25&quot;, and &quot;26&quot; have 2 ways of being decoded, but &quot;27&quot;, &quot;28&quot;, and &quot;29&quot; only have 1 way.
Hence, there are a total of (6 * 2) + (3 * 1) = 12 + 3 = 15 ways to decode &quot;2*&quot;.
