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.
class Solution { public: int longestConsecutive(vector<int> &num) { map<int, bool> flagMap; int nMaxLen = 1; for (vector<int>::iterator itr=num.begin(); itr!=num.end();++itr) flagMap[*itr] = true; for (vector<int>::iterator itr=num.begin(); itr!=num.end();++itr) { int nCount = 1; if (flagMap[*itr]) { flagMap[*itr] = false; // mark false int nLeft = *itr-1; while (flagMap.find(nLeft)!=flagMap.end() && flagMap[nLeft]){ flagMap[nLeft] = false; ++nCount; nLeft -= 1; } int nRight = *itr + 1; while (flagMap.find(nRight)!=flagMap.end() && flagMap[nRight]){ flagMap[nRight] = false; ++nCount; nRight += 1; } } if (nCount > nMaxLen) nMaxLen = nCount; } return nMaxLen; } };
