Digit sum divisibility count

CodingAlgorithms & data structuresSenior–Staff~30 min

Count how many integers x in the inclusive range [lo, hi] have a digit sum that is divisible by a given modulus k. Return the count. Constraints: 0 <= lo <= hi <= 10**18, 1 <= k <= 100. A brute-force loop over the range is far too slow; use digit DP with a prefix-count(hi) - prefix-count(lo-1) approach.

Implement
count_digit_sum_divisible(lo: int, hi: int, k: int) → int

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.
