Question

Given an integer array and an integer k, count the number of contiguous subarrays whose sum is divisible by k. Constraints: 1 <= n <= 3*10^4, -10^4 <= nums[i] <= 10^4, 2 <= k <= 10^4.

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.

Vibe coding: describe the solution in plain language (or narrate it) and the coach grades your approach. Generating runnable code from your description is coming next.

Run or narrate your approach, then ask the coach.
