LeetCode Challenge #128. Longest Consecutive Sequence

Given an unsorted array of integers nums, return the length of the longest consecutive elements sequence.

You must write an algorithm that runs in O(n) time.

 

Example 1:

Input: nums = [100,4,200,1,3,2]
Output: 4
Explanation: The longest consecutive elements sequence is [1, 2, 3, 4]. Therefore its length is 4.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [0,3,7,2,5,8,4,6,0,1]
Output: 9

 

Constraints:

  • 0 <= nums.length <= 105
  • -109 <= nums[i] <= 109

Java Solution
				
					class Solution {
    public int longestConsecutive(int[] nums) {
        HashMap<Integer,Boolean> hm = new HashMap<>();
        for(int i=0;i<nums.length;i++){
            hm.put(nums[i],false);
        }

        for(int key : hm.keySet()){
            if(hm.containsKey(key-1)==false){
                hm.put(key,true);
            }
        }

        int max = 0 ;
        for(int key : hm.keySet()){
            int k=1 ;
            if(hm.get(key)==true){
                while(hm.containsKey(key+k)==true){
                    k++;
                }
            }
            max = Math.max(max,k);
        }
        return max ;
    }
}
