Step 1: Divide the number into separate digits:
882 => 8 8 2
Step 2: Calculate the distance between each digit and the next (the last digit with the first):
8 to 8 => 0
8 to 2 => 6
2 to 8 => 6
Step 3: Convert distances to codes (0=E[qual],
1 & 9 = C[onsecutive], 2-8 = N[one]):
0 => E
6 => N
6 => N
Step 4: Combine the filters to a string:
E N N = ENN
