Find Longest Consecutive Sequence in Python
Find the length of the longest consecutive elements sequence in an unsorted array using a set for O(n) lookups.
def longest_consecutive_length(nums):
num_set = set(nums)
longest = 0
for num in num_set:
if num - 1 not in num_set:
current = num
current_streak = 1
while current + 1 in num_set:
current += 1
current_streak += 1
…Find Longest Increasing Subsequence Length in Python
Compute the length of the longest increasing subsequence in an array using dynamic programming.
def longest_increasing_subsequence(nums):
if not nums:
return 0
dp = [1] * len(nums)
for i in range(1, len(nums)):
for j in range(i):
if nums[i] > nums[j]:
dp[i] = max(dp[i], dp[j] + 1)
return max(dp)
