So for example , the 4th element will get incremented by 1 (50+1) since 1 element of B is in front. The last element will get incremented by 3 (430+3) since 3 elements of B lie in front of it. The first 2 elements of A don't get incremented.

increment = total(sub eq B, /cumulative, /int) * (sub eq A)
ids += increment
