class Program
{
    static int[] Ria(string line = null)
    {
        line ??= Console.ReadLine();
        if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(line)) return Array.Empty<int>();
        return line.Trim().Split(new[] { ' ', ',', '\t' }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)
            .Select(int.Parse).ToArray();
    }
    static string[] Rsa()
    {
        int n = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
        var arr = new string[n];
        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) arr[i] = Console.ReadLine();
        return arr;
    }
    static void W(params object[] parts) => Console.WriteLine(string.Join(" ", parts));
    static void Wb(bool v) => Console.WriteLine(v ? "true" : "false");
    static void Wi(int v) => Console.WriteLine(v);
    static void Ws(string v) => Console.WriteLine(v);

    static void Main()
    {
var nums = Ria();
var set = new HashSet<int>(nums);
int best = 0;
foreach (var n in set) {
    if (set.Contains(n - 1)) continue;
    int len = 1, cur = n;
    while (set.Contains(cur + 1)) { cur++; len++; }
    best = Math.Max(best, len);
}
Wi(best);
    }
}
