Java Array Exercises: Find the length of the longest consecutive elements sequence from a given unsorted array of integers
Java Array: Exercise-34 with Solution
Write a Java program to find the length of the longest consecutive elements sequence from a given unsorted array of integers.
Sample array: [49, 1, 3, 200, 2, 4, 70, 5]
The longest consecutive elements sequence is [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], therefore the program will return its length 5.

Sample Solution:
Java Code:
import java.util.HashSet;
public class Exercise34 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int nums[] = {49, 1, 3, 200, 2, 4, 70, 5};
System.out.println("Original array length: "+nums.length);
System.out.print("Array elements are: ");
for (int i = 0; i < nums.length; i++)
{
System.out.print(nums[i]+" ");
}
System.out.println("\nThe new length of the array is: "+longest_sequence(nums));
}
public static int longest_sequence(int[] nums) {
final HashSet<Integer> h_set = new HashSet<Integer>();
for (int i : nums) h_set.add(i);
int longest_sequence_len = 0;
for (int i : nums) {
int length = 1;
for (int j = i - 1; h_set.contains(j); --j) {
h_set.remove(j);
++length;
}
for (int j = i + 1; h_set.contains(j); ++j) {
h_set.remove(j);
++length;
}
longest_sequence_len = Math.max(longest_sequence_len, length);
}
return longest_sequence_len;
}
}
Sample Output:
Original array length: 8 Array elements are: 49 1 3 200 2 4 70 5 The new length of the array is: 5

How to sort an ArrayList?
Collections.sort(testList); Collections.reverse(testList);
That will do what you want. Remember to import Collections though!
