The problem

You are given a 0-indexed string word of length n consisting of digits, and a positive integer m. The divisibility array div of word is an integer array of length n such that: div[i] = 1 if the numeric value of word[0,...,i] is divisible by m, or div[i] = 0 otherwise.

Example

Input
word = "998244353", m = 3
Output
[1,1,0,0,0,1,1,0,0]
Explanation
There are only 4 prefixes that are divisible by 3: "9", "99", "998244", and "9982443".

class Solution:
    def divisibilityArray(self, word: str, m: int) -> List[int]:
        ans = []
        x = 0
        for c in word:
            x = (x * 10 + int(c)) % m
            ans.append(1 if x == 0 else 0)
        return ans
