Subarray sum divisible by k

CodingAlgorithms & data structuresMid–Senior~20 min

Given an integer array (values may be negative) and a positive integer k, return the number of contiguous subarrays whose sum is divisible by k. The array may contain negatives, so handle modular arithmetic carefully. The array has at least one element.

Implement
subarrays_div_by_k(nums: list[int], k: int) → int
Examples
in[[4,5,0,-2,-3,1],5]out7
What a strong answer looks like

State your approach and its time/space complexity out loud before you optimize. Handle the edge cases (empty input, duplicates, overflow), and say why you chose this over the brute force. Green tests are the floor, not the grade.
