Given an unsorted array of integers, find the length of the longest consecutive elements sequence.
For example,
Given [100, 4, 200, 1, 3, 2]
,
The longest consecutive elements sequence is [1, 2, 3, 4]
. Return its length: 4
.
Your algorithm should run in O(n) complexity.
public class Solution {
public int longestConsecutive(int[] nums) {
if (nums == null || nums.length == 0) {
return 0;
}
HashSet<Integer> hashSet = new HashSet<Integer>();
for (int i = 0; i < nums.length; i++) {
hashSet.add(nums[i]);
}
int res = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < nums.length; i++) {
if (hashSet.contains(nums[i])) {
int cnt = 1;
hashSet.remove(nums[i]);
int low = nums[i] - 1;
while (hashSet.contains(low)) {
cnt++;
hashSet.remove(low);
low--;
}
int high = nums[i] + 1;
while (hashSet.contains(high)) {
cnt++;
hashSet.remove(high);
high++;
}
res = Math.max(res, cnt);
}
}
return res;
}
}
