Step 1: Divide the number into separate digits:
1030 => 1 0 3 0
Step 2: Calculate the distance between each digit and the next (the last digit with the first):
1 to 0 => 1
0 to 3 => 3
3 to 0 => 3
0 to 1 => 1
Step 3: Convert distances to codes (0=E[qual],
1 & 9 = C[onsecutive], 2-8 = N[one]):
1 => C
3 => N
3 => N
1 => C
Step 4: Combine the filters to a string:
C N N C = CNNC
