Step 1: Divide the number into separate digits:
6344 => 6 3 4 4
Step 2: Calculate the distance between each digit and the next (the last digit with the first):
6 to 3 => 3
3 to 4 => 1
4 to 4 => 0
4 to 6 => 2
Step 3: Convert distances to codes (0=E[qual],
1 & 9 = C[onsecutive], 2-8 = N[one]):
3 => N
1 => C
0 => E
2 => N
Step 4: Combine the filters to a string:
N C E N = NCEN
