Longest Consecutive Sequence

Medium

Description

Given an unsorted array of integers nums, return the length of the longest consecutive elements sequence. You must write an algorithm that runs in O(n) time.

Examples

Input:nums = [100,4,200,1,3,2]
Output:4
Explanation:

The longest consecutive sequence is [1, 2, 3, 4]. Length = 4.

Input:nums = [0,3,7,2,5,8,4,6,0,1]
Output:9
Explanation:

The longest consecutive sequence is [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]. Length = 9.

Input:nums = []
Output:0
Explanation:

Edge case returning zero.

Constraints

  • 0 ≤ nums.length ≤ 10⁵
  • -10⁹ ≤ nums[i] ≤ 10⁹
