Longest Consecutive Sequence——Leetcode

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.

题目大意:给一个无序数组,找出最大的连续元素的长度。

说真的,一开始这题,我想半天只想到用boolean数组mark,后来看了别人的才发现可以用set做。

解题思路:

把所有的数组放到set中,然后遍历数组的元素,然后分别向前、向后寻找set中是否存在,记录max。

    public int longestConsecutive(int[] nums) {
       if(nums==null||nums.length==0){
           return 0;
       }
        Set<Integer> set = new HashSet<>();
        for(int num:nums){
            set.add(num);
        }
        int max = 0;
        for(int i=0;i<nums.length;i++){
            Integer num = nums[i];
            int cnt = 1;
            while(set.contains(--num)){
                cnt++;
                set.remove(num);
            }
            num=nums[i];
            while(set.contains(++num)){
                cnt++;
                set.remove(num);
            }
            max=Math.max(max,cnt);
        }
        return max;
    }
