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] <= 109class Solution: def longestConsecutive(self, nums: List[int]) -> int: seen = set() nums[:] = [x for x in nums if not (x in seen or seen.add(x))] nums.sort() max_len = 0 cur_len = 0 for i in range(len(nums)): if i == 0 or nums[i] == nums[i-1] + 1: cur_len += 1 else: cur_len = 1 max_len = max(max_len, cur_len) return max_len
