Step 1: Divide the number into separate digits:
36724 => 3 6 7 2 4
Step 2: Calculate the distance between each digit and the next (the last digit with the first):
3 to 6 => 3
6 to 7 => 1
7 to 2 => 5
2 to 4 => 2
4 to 3 => 1
Step 3: Convert distances to codes (0=E[qual],
1 & 9 = C[onsecutive], 2-8 = N[one]):
3 => N
1 => C
5 => N
2 => N
1 => C
Step 4: Combine the filters to a string:
N C N N C = NCNNC
