Problem: Longest Consecutive Sequence

Medium
30 min
Understand how to solve the longest consecutive sequence problem by applying Union-Find concepts. This lesson helps you identify consecutive elements, handle constraints, and implement an efficient solution for unsorted arrays.

Statement

Given an unsorted array, nums, your task is to return the length of the longest consecutive sequence of elements. The consecutive sequence of elements is such that there are no missing elements in the sequence. The consecutive elements can be present anywhere in the input array.

Note: Two elements, xx and yy, are called consecutive if the difference between them is equal to 11.

Constraints:

  • 00 \leq nums.lengths 103\leq 10^{3}
  • 106-10^{6} \leq nums[i] 106\leq 10^{6}
