Largest increasing subsequence of consecutive integers

Difficulty Level : Medium
Last Updated : 22 Jun, 2021

Given an array of n positive integers. We need to find the largest increasing sequence of consecutive positive integers.
Examples:

Input : arr[] = {5, 7, 6, 7, 8} 
Output : Size of LIS = 4
         LIS = 5, 6, 7, 8

Input : arr[] = {5, 7, 8, 7, 5} 
Output : Size of LIS = 2
         LIS = 7, 8

This problem can be solved easily by the concept of LIS where each next greater element differ from earlier one by 1. But this will take O(n^2) time complexity.
With the use of hashing we can finding the size of longest increasing sequence with consecutive integers in time complexity of O(n).
We create a hash table.. Now for each element arr[i], we perform hash[arr[i]] = hash[arr[i] – 1] + 1. So, for every element we know longest consecutive increasing subsequence ending with it. Finally we return maximum value from hash table.

// Function for LIS
int findLIS(int A[], int n)
{
    unordered_map<int, int> hash;
 
    // Initialize result
    int LIS_size = 1;
    int LIS_index = 0;
 
    hash[A[0]] = 1;
 
    // iterate through array and find
    // end index of LIS and its Size
    for (int i = 1; i < n; i++) {
        hash[A[i]] = hash[A[i] - 1] + 1;
        if (LIS_size < hash[A[i]]) {
            LIS_size = hash[A[i]];
            LIS_index = A[i];
        }
    }
 
    // print LIS size
    cout << "LIS_size = " << LIS_size << "\n";
 
    // print LIS after setting start element
    cout << "LIS : ";
    int start = LIS_index - LIS_size + 1;
    while (start <= LIS_index) {
        cout << start << " ";
        start++;
