Find the Longest Consecutive Sequence in O(n) Time

To find the longest sequence of consecutive integers in an unsorted array with O(n) time complexity, use the following approach: Insert all elements into an unordered_set, which prvoides average O(1) lookup time and atuomatically removes duplicates. Iterate through each number in the set. Only start counting a sequence if the current number is ...
