648

Explanation:

9 possible ways for first digit (excluding 0, therefore 1-9)

e.g. 123, 234, 567

9 possible ways for second digit (excluding 0 and digit before 1-9)

e.g. 123, 124, 125

8 possible ways for third digit (excluding 0 and condition for second digit 1-9)

e.g. 789 is legit, but 788 is not

Multiply 9*9*8 to get an answer of 648
