#Given an unsorted array of numbers ,return 1 if all the numbers are consecutive else return -1.
#Approach 1: Using an auxiliary array to keep track of visited elements

check_consecutive([1,4,3,2]) # => 1
#Approach 2: Instead of using visited(auxiliary) array, we traverse for each index i and make a[i]-min -ve,
#if a[i]-min is already -ve ,there is a repetition.
#Time-complexity:O(n),Auxiliary-space:O(1)
#Caveat: This algorithm modifies the content of the array and also this method might not work for negative numbers.
