Step 1: Divide the number into separate digits:
8190 => 8 1 9 0
Step 2: Calculate the distance between each digit and the next (the last digit with the first):
8 to 1 => 7
1 to 9 => 8
9 to 0 => 9
0 to 8 => 8
Step 3: Convert distances to codes (0=E[qual],
1 & 9 = C[onsecutive], 2-8 = N[one]):
7 => N
8 => N
9 => C
8 => N
Step 4: Combine the filters to a string:
N N C N = NNCN
