128. Longest Consecutive Sequence

![https://leetcode.com/problems/longest-consecutive-sequence/] Given an unsorted array of integers nums, return the length of the longest consecutive elements sequence. Example 1: Input: nums = [100,4,200,1,3,2] Output: 4 Explanation: The longest consecutive elements sequence is [1, 2, 3, 4]. Therefore its length is 4. Example 2: Input: nums = [0,3,7,2,5,8,4,6,0,1] Output: 9 Constraints: 0 <= nums.length <= 104 -109 <= nums[i] <= 109 class Solution { public int longestConsecutive(int[] nums) { Map<Integer, Integer> valueToIndex = new HashMap<>(); UF uf = new UF(nums.length); for (int i = 0; i < nums.length; i++) { int value = nums[i]; if (valueToIndex.containsKey(value)) { continue; } if (valueToIndex.containsKey(value - 1)) { uf.union(i, valueToIndex.get(value - 1)); } if (valueToIndex.containsKey(value + 1)) { uf.union(i, valueToIndex.get(value + 1)); } valueToIndex.put(value, i); } return uf.maxSize; } static class UF { private int[] a; private int[] sz; private int maxSize = 0; UF(int n) { this.a = new int[n]; this.sz = new int[n]; for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) { a[i] = i; sz[i] = 1; maxSize = 1; } } void union(int p, int q) { int pid = find(p); int qid = find(q); if (sz[pid] > sz[qid]) { a[qid] = pid; sz[pid] += sz[qid]; maxSize = Math.max(maxSize, sz[pid]); } else { a[pid] = qid; sz[qid] += sz[pid]; maxSize = Math.max(maxSize, sz[qid]); } } int find(int p) { while (p != a[p]) { p = a[p]; } return p; } } }

Queue Reconstruction by Height

Suppose you have a random list of people standing in a queue. Each person is described by a pair of integers (h, k), where h is the height of the person and k is the number of people in front of this person who have a height greater than or equal to h. Write an algorithm to reconstruct the queue. Note: The number of people is less than 1,100. Example Input: [[7,0], [4,4], [7,1], [5,0], [6,1], [5,2]] Output: [[5,0], [7,0], [5,2], [6,1], [4,4], [7,1]] Solution: ...
