Leetcode之Longest Consecutive Sequence

题目：

Given an unsorted array of integers, find the length of the longest consecutive elements sequence.

Your algorithm should run in O(n) complexity.

Example:

Input: [100, 4, 200, 1, 3, 2]
Output: 4
Explanation: The longest consecutive elements sequence is [1, 2, 3, 4]. Therefore its length is 4.

代码：

方法一——集合法：

class Solution {
public:
    int longestConsecutive(vector<int>& nums) {
        int res = 0;
        unordered_set<int> s(nums.begin(), nums.end());
        for (int val : nums) {
            if (!s.count(val)) continue;
            s.erase(val);
            int pre = val - 1, next = val + 1;
            while (s.count(pre)) s.erase(pre--);
            while (s.count(next)) s.erase(next++);
            res = max(res, next - pre - 1);
        }
        return res;
    }
};

方法二——哈希表法：

class Solution {
public:
    int longestConsecutive(vector<int>& nums) {
        int res = 0;
        unordered_map<int, int> m;
        for (int num : nums) {
            if (m.count(num)) continue;
            int left = m.count(num - 1) ? m[num - 1] : 0;
            int right = m.count(num + 1) ? m[num + 1] : 0;
            int sum = left + right + 1;
            m[num] = sum;
            res = max(res, sum);
            m[num - left] = sum;
            m[num + right] = sum;
        }
        return res;
    }
};
