LeetCode | Maximum Number of K Divisible Components | C++ | Golang | Rust

Описание: LeetCode 2872 – Maximum Number of K-Divisible Components (Daily Challenge Solution)

In this video, I break down one of the smartest and most intuitive DFS-based problems: Maximum Number of K-Divisible Components.
I start by forming a key claim about subtree sums and demonstrate why it works using a clean test-case proof.

Then I visually explain the cut-edge logic — whenever a subtree sum becomes divisible by k, we conceptually cut that edge and treat that subtree as a separate component. This idea naturally leads to a DFS that accumulates subtree sums and resets them when needed.

After the full intuition, I show complete implementations in
✅ C++ (recursive lambda)
✅ Golang (anonymous function recursion)
✅ Rust (DFS with references)

This makes the solution easy to understand and reproduce in any language.

If you enjoy graph/DFS problems or want strong intuition for tree-DP style questions, this walkthrough will help you master the pattern.
