Solution: Longest Consecutive Sequence

Discover how to find the longest consecutive sequence in an unsorted array by applying the Union Find pattern. Learn to initialize and union sets to track connected components, enabling an efficient O(n) solution. This lesson guides you through understanding the approach and implementing it in JavaScript.

We'll cover the following...
