Solution: Continuous Subarray Sum

Explore how to identify a subarray with a sum that is a multiple of k using cumulative sums and hash maps. Understand the role of remainders in detecting qualifying subarrays and implement a linear time algorithm to solve this problem efficiently.

Statement

Given an integer array nums and an integer k, determine if nums contains a good subarray. Return true if such a subarray exists; otherwise, return false.

A subarray of nums is considered good if:

  • Its length is at least 22.

  • The sum of its elements is a multiple of k.

Notes:

  • A subarray is defined as a contiguous sequence of elements within an array.

  • An integer x is a multiple of k if there exists an integer n such that x = n * k. Note that 0 is always considered a multiple of k.
