Step 1: Divide the number into separate digits:
0571 => 0 5 7 1
Step 2: Calculate the distance between each digit and the next (the last digit with the first):
0 to 5 => 5
5 to 7 => 2
7 to 1 => 6
1 to 0 => 1
Step 3: Convert distances to codes (0=E[qual],
1 & 9 = C[onsecutive], 2-8 = N[one]):
5 => N
2 => N
6 => N
1 => C
Step 4: Combine the filters to a string:
N N N C = NNNC
