    This editorial discusses an approach to count pairs in an array whose absolute difference is divisible by K. It proposes replacing array elements with remainders from dividing by K, then counting pairs for each remainder and summing them, achieving O(n) time and O(K) space complexity. The key steps are to reduce each element to its remainder, count pairs within each remainder group, and sum the pair counts.

    Expected Approach
    Intuition
    The idea is to collect those elements which have the same remainder when

    divided by K.

    Implementation
    Step 1: We first replace the array elements with the remainder divided by

    K.

    Step 2: Let's say there are x array elements with remainder m, then the

    total pairs will be: (x*(x-1))/2.

    Step 3: Now we add all the pairs of all the remainders, to the sum and

    return the sum.

    Complexity
    Time Complexity: The time complexity will be O(n).

    Space Complexity: A s we are storing the remainders, the space

    complexity will be O(K).
