[Leetcode]Longest Consecutive Sequence

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.

public:
    /*algorithm: native way, 
        sort and counting
        time O(nlgn) space O(1)
    */
    int longestConsecutive(vector<int>& nums) {
        int n = nums.size();
        if(n < 2)return n;
        int cnt = 1,maxCnt = 1;
        sort(nums.begin(),nums.end());
        for(int i = 1;i < n;i++){
            if(nums[i-1]+1 ==nums[i])cnt++;
            else if(nums[i-1] == nums[i])continue;
            else cnt = 1;
            maxCnt = max(cnt,maxCnt);
        }
        return maxCnt;
    }
};
