Given a positive integer, convert it to the corresponding Excel column title. In Excel, columns are labeled A through Z for columns 1-26, then AA, AB, through AZ for 27-52, then BA, BB, and so on. For example, 1 maps to "A", 26 maps to "Z", 27 maps to "AA", 28 maps to "AB", and 703 maps to "AAA". Return null for null input, and an empty string for values less than 1.

Examples:

Input: columnNumber = 1 Output: 'A' Explanation: Column 1 maps to the first letter A Input: columnNumber = 26 Output: 'Z' Explanation: Column 26 maps to the last single letter Z Input: columnNumber = 28 Output: 'AB' Explanation: Column 28 maps to AB (27=AA, 28=AB) Input: columnNumber = 703 Output: 'AAA' Explanation: Column 703 maps to AAA Input: columnNumber = null Output: null Explanation: Null input returns null
