Longest Consecutive Range

MediumPython

Problem

Tell me how you would find the longest consecutive range in an array.

Implement the solution for an unsorted integer array. Return the inclusive range as [start, end]; duplicate values do not extend a range. If multiple ranges have the same length, return the one with the smallest start value. Return [] for an empty array.

Function signature: def longest_consecutive_range(nums):

Constraints

  • 0 <= nums.length <= 10^4
  • -10^9 <= nums[i] <= 10^9
  • The output range is inclusive.
  • If equal-length ranges exist, return the range with the smallest start value.
