def decodeString(encodedList):

    decodedStr = ''

    for item in encodedList:

        decodedStr = decodedStr + item[0] * item[1]

    return decodedStr

1. Start with an empty string: decodedStr = ''

2. Loop through each (char, count) tuple in encodedList.

3. Multiply the character by its count:

item[0] * item[1]

Example: 'a' * 3 → "aaa".

4. Concatenate to decodedStr.

5. Return the final reconstructed string.
