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.

1. HashMap.   时间: O(N)  空间: O(N)

2. sort + search.  时间: O(NlgN)  空间：O(1)  ***注意sort后前后两个元素相等的情况！！

public class Solution {
    public int longestConsecutive(int[] num) {
        //map num[i] to 0/1 (represent that if it has been visited)
        HashMap<Integer, Integer> map = new HashMap<>();
        for (int i : num) {
            map.put(i, 0);
        }
        
        int max = 1;
        
        for (int i : num) {
            if (map.get(i) == 1) continue;
            
            int temp = i;
            int thismax = 1;
            
            while (map.containsKey(temp + 1)) {
                thismax++;
                temp++;
