128. Longest Consecutive Sequence

题目描述:

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.

题目翻译

给定一个未排序的整数数组,找到最长连续元素序列的长度。

例如,
给定[100, 4, 200, 1, 3, 2],
最长的连续元素序列是[1, 2, 3, 4]。返回长度:4。

您的算法应该以O(n)的复杂度运行。

解题方案

标签: Array

思路:这道题利用HashSet的唯一性解决,能使时间复杂度达到O(n)。首先先把所有num值放入HashSet,然后遍历整个数组,如果HashSet中存在该值,就先向下找到边界,找的同时把找到的值一个一个从set中删去,然后再向上找边界,同样要把找到的值都从set中删掉。所以每个元素最多会被遍历两边,时间复杂度为O(n)。

代码:

class Solution {    public int longestConsecutive(int[] nums) {        if(nums == null||nums.length == 0)            return 0;        HashSet<Integer> hs = new HashSet<Integer>();          for (int i = 0 ;i<nums.length; i++)               hs.add(nums[i]);          int max = 0;          for(int i=0; i<nums.length; i++){              if(hs.contains(nums[i])){                int count = 1;                  hs.remove(nums[i]);                int low = nums[i] - 1;                 while(hs.contains(low)){                      hs.remove(low);                      low--;                      count++;                  }                int high = nums[i] + 1;                  while(hs.contains(high)){                      hs.remove(high);                      high++;                      count++;                  }                  max = Math.max(max, count);              }          }          return max;      }}
