Contiguous sum divisible by k

CodingAlgorithms & data structuresMid–Senior~25 min

Given an integer array and an integer k, return the number of contiguous subarrays whose sum is divisible by k. The array has at most 30000 elements with values in [-10000, 10000]; k is a positive integer up to 10000. Note that negative prefix sums must be handled with care for the modulo.

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.
