Step 1: Divide the number into separate digits:
44 => 4 4
Step 2: Calculate the distance between each digit and the next (the last digit with the first):
4 to 4 => 0
4 to 4 => 0
Step 3: Convert distances to codes (0=E[qual],
1 & 9 = C[onsecutive], 2-8 = N[one]):
0 => E
0 => E
Step 4: Combine the filters to a string:
E E = EE
