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;
}
}
