Description

Given a list of non-negative numbers and a target integer k, write a function to check if the array has a continuous subarray of size at least 2 that sums up to a multiple of k, that is, sums up to n*k where n is also an integer.

Example 1:

Input: [23, 2, 4, 6, 7],  k=6
Output: True
Explanation: Because [2, 4] is a continuous subarray of size 2 and sums up to 6.

Example 2:

Input: [23, 2, 6, 4, 7],  k=6
Output: True
Explanation: Because [23, 2, 6, 4, 7] is an continuous subarray of size 5 and sums up to 42.

Note:

  1. The length of the array won’t exceed 10,000.
  2. You may assume the sum of all the numbers is in the range of a signed 32-bit integer.

        k = abs(k)
        if n >= 2 * k:

        for i in range(len(sum)):
            if sum[i] in dic:
                if i - dic[sum[i]] >= 2:
                    return True
            else:
                dic[sum[i]] = i
        return False
