# Challenge 087
#
# TASK #1 > Longest Consecutive Sequence
# Submitted by: Mohammad S Anwar
# You are given an unsorted array of integers @N.
#
# Write a script to find the longest consecutive sequence. Print 0 if none sequence found.
#
# Example 1:
# Input: @N = (100, 4, 50, 3, 2)
# Output: (2, 3, 4)
# Example 2:
# Input: @N = (20, 30, 10, 40, 50)
# Output: 0
# Example 3:
# Input: @N = (20, 19, 9, 11, 10)
# Output: (9, 10, 11)
