Step 1: Divide the number into separate digits:
17133 => 1 7 1 3 3
Step 2: Calculate the distance between each digit and the next (the last digit with the first):
1 to 7 => 6
7 to 1 => 6
1 to 3 => 2
3 to 3 => 0
3 to 1 => 2
Step 3: Convert distances to codes (0=E[qual],
1 & 9 = C[onsecutive], 2-8 = N[one]):
6 => N
6 => N
2 => N
0 => E
2 => N
Step 4: Combine the filters to a string:
N N N E N = NNNEN
