128. Longest Consecutive Sequence
Medium
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
Solution
import "sort"
func longestConsecutive(nums []int) int {
if len(nums) == 0 {
return 0
}
sort.Ints(nums)
max := -1 << 31 // Integer.MIN_VALUE in Go
thsMax := 1
for i := 0; i < len(nums)-1; i++ {
if nums[i+1] == nums[i]+1 {
thsMax++
continue
}
if nums[i+1] == nums[i] {
continue
}
// Start of a new Sequence
if thsMax > max {
max = thsMax
}
thsMax = 1
}
if thsMax > max {
max = thsMax
}
return max
}
