The first Sounde character is C
Build our our remaining Soundex
ELEBRITY

Our Soundex translation is now C

Evaluate the E in ELEBRITY

E is a vowel, eliminate it

Our Soundex translation is now C4

Evaluate the E in ELEBRITY

E is a vowel, eliminate it

Evaluate the B in ELEBRITY

B represents 1
Our Soundex translation is now C41

R represents 6
Our Soundex translation is now C416
Stop because
We have 1 letter and 3 numbers
