Problem: Longest Consecutive Sequence

Explore how to solve the longest consecutive sequence problem in an unsorted integer array using hash tables for O(n) time complexity. Learn to use a hash set to identify sequence starts and expand sequences efficiently, improving your understanding of hash-based problem solving and algorithm optimization in Python.

Statement

Given an unsorted array of integers nums, determine the length of the longest sequence of consecutive elements that can be formed from the values in the array.

Your solution must operate in O(n)O(n) time complexity.

Constraints:

  • 00 \leq nums.length 105\leq 10^5 ...
