Step 1: Divide the number into separate digits:
15466 => 1 5 4 6 6
Step 2: Calculate the distance between each digit and the next (the last digit with the first):
1 to 5 => 4
5 to 4 => 1
4 to 6 => 2
6 to 6 => 0
6 to 1 => 5
Step 3: Convert distances to codes (0=E[qual],
1 & 9 = C[onsecutive], 2-8 = N[one]):
4 => N
1 => C
2 => N
0 => E
5 => N
Step 4: Combine the filters to a string:
N C N E N = NCNEN
