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.
【注意】:这道题有几个坑:
坑1:数组元素可能重复,比如-1,0,0,1,2.本以为重复就不算联系,答案应该是3,结果是4。你妹的
坑2:允许负数,这个没考虑实在不应该。
坑3:大数可能是Integer.MIN_VALUE,因此用计数排序的时候要注意考虑溢出
算法思路:
思路1:计数排序;线性排序算法,再求出最长连续序列长度。
没有做到bug-free,因此不贴了。
思路2:发散法,遇到一个数字,则想两端发散,并维护最大长度。
1 public class Solution { 2 public int longestConsecutive(int[] num) { 3 if (num == null || num.length == 0) 4 return 0; 5 Set<Integer> set = new HashSet<Integer>(); 6 int max = 1; 7 for (int tem : num) { 8 set.add(tem); 9 } 10 for (int tem : num) { 11 if (set.contains(tem)) { 12 set.remove(tem); 13 int len = 1; 14 int post = tem + 1; 15 while (set.contains(post)) { 16 set.remove(tem); 17 post++; 18 len++; 19 max = Math.max(max, len); 20 } 21 int pre = tem - 1; 22 while (set.contains(pre)) { 23 set.remove(pre); 24 pre--; 25 len++; 26 max = Math.max(max, len); 27 } 28 } 29 } 30 return max; 31 } 32 33 }
还可以用递归实现。大数据效率略低,不再实现了。时间、空间复杂度都是O(n)。
