    I have done with Java. I have added some comments. I hope it will be clear for everyone

    // Complete the nonDivisibleSubset function below.
        static int nonDivisibleSubset(int k, int[] S) {
            // In maths. if (a + b) % k = 0 => then ((a % k) + (b % k)) % k = 0
            // Example: (5 + 7) % 6 = 0 => then (5 % 6) + (7 % 6) > (5 + 1) % 6 = 0
    
            // Solution: Find remainder of each element in the array.
            // then, choose max element from the pair which together can able to be divided by k. If one pair is "i" then other pair will be "k-i"
            // For example: S = {2, 3, 7, 8, 12} and k = 5.
            // Now we have 3 numbers whose remainder 2 => ( 2 % 5 = 2, 7 % 5 = 2, 12 % 5 = 2)
            // and also we have 2 numbers whose remainder 3 => (3, 8)
            // Right now we have to choose one of the element from that pair (3, 2) (where 3 > numbers 2, 7, 12 && 2 > numbers 3, 8)
            // Because of the problem, we will choose the max which is 3.
    
            int[] remainderArr = new int[k];
            // find remainder of each element in the array S
            // For example k = 4, S = {0, 5, 7, 10} => remainderArr will be: {0, 1, 1, 1}
            // where each index represents remainder. For example remainderArr[2] = 1 means
            // that there is 1 number whose remainder 2 after divided 4. (10 % 4 = 2)
            for (Integer each : S) {
                remainderArr[each % k]++;
            }
    
            // After getting each remainder, index 0 (actually remainder 0) is a special case
            // Think of it like this:
            //      1. There will be no element such as k - 0 = k. (remainderArr[k] will give us ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException)
            //      2. If there are 2 elements in remainderArr[0], we have to choose only 1, otherwise, we can sum up 2 or more
            //         zeros, then non-sub divisible set could be divisible by k.
            int zeroRemainder = remainderArr[0];
    
            // That's why, our initial subset size is 1, if there is a zero remainder,
            //                                           otherwise it is 0
            int maxNumberOfDivisibleSet = zeroRemainder > 0 ? 1 : 0;
    
            // Another thing is that pair which is itself. That's means, let's say k = 4, therefore pair of remainderArr[2]
            // will also be remainderArr[2]( i = 2 then, k - i = 2). Thus, we have to choose only 1 element from that pair (or we should increment
            // the result number just 1)
            // if condition "i != k - i" will handle this situation.
            for (int i = 1; i <= (k / 2); i++) {
                if (i != k - i)
                    maxNumberOfDivisibleSet += Math.max(remainderArr[i], remainderArr[k - i]);
                else
                    maxNumberOfDivisibleSet ++;
            }
    
            return maxNumberOfDivisibleSet;
