Problem: Longest Consecutive Sequence

Medium
30 min
Explore how to identify the longest consecutive sequence in an unsorted list using the Union Find pattern. This lesson helps you understand the problem, build the solution logic, and implement your code efficiently for common coding interview questions.

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}
