Step 1: Divide the number into separate digits:
8891 => 8 8 9 1
Step 2: Calculate the distance between each digit and the next (the last digit with the first):
8 to 8 => 0
8 to 9 => 1
9 to 1 => 8
1 to 8 => 7
Step 3: Convert distances to codes (0=E[qual],
1 & 9 = C[onsecutive], 2-8 = N[one]):
0 => E
1 => C
8 => N
7 => N
Step 4: Combine the filters to a string:
E C N N = ECNN
