<p>You are given a string <code>s</code> consisting of lowercase English letters, and an integer <code>k</code>.</p>
<p>First, <strong>convert</strong><code>s</code> into an integer by replacing each letter with its position in the alphabet (i.e., replace <code>'a'</code> with <code>1</code>, <code>'b'</code> with <code>2</code>, ..., <code>'z'</code> with <code>26</code>). Then, <strong>transform</strong> the integer by replacing it with the <strong>sum of its digits</strong>. Repeat the <strong>transform</strong> operation <code>k</code><strong> times</strong> in total.</p>
<p>For example, if <code>s = "zbax"</code> and <code>k = 2</code>, then the resulting integer would be <code>8</code> by the following operations:</p>
