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;  
    }
}
