Step 1: Divide the number into separate digits:
08944 => 0 8 9 4 4
Step 2: Calculate the distance between each digit and the next (the last digit with the first):
0 to 8 => 8
8 to 9 => 1
9 to 4 => 5
4 to 4 => 0
4 to 0 => 4
Step 3: Convert distances to codes (0=E[qual],
1 & 9 = C[onsecutive], 2-8 = N[one]):
8 => N
1 => C
5 => N
0 => E
4 => N
Step 4: Combine the filters to a string:
N C N E N = NCNEN
