Can anybody please explain me this code of question SEACO(september long challenge).

count = (count + B[i+1])%MOD;

Seems to me number of times common X will be executed, ONLY considering the commands executed from end till now. (i.e. not including command X in list right now)

B[i+1] = (count + 1)%MOD;

Including X in list, hence increasing count by 1.

if(t[i] == 1)
      {
        A[l[i] - 1] = (A[l[i] - 1] + B[i+1])%MOD;
        A[r[i]] = (A[r[i]] + MOD - B[i+1])%MOD;
        //printf("A[%d]=%d A[%d]=%d\n",l[i]-1,A[l[i]-1],r[i],A[r[i]]);
      }

Standard difference Array. Say your array is {5,10,11,2}. Then difference array arr[i+1]-arr[i] is {5,1,-9}. You know you know arr[1]=5. You can give arr[i] as-

arr[i]=arr[i-1]+diff[i-1];//Eg- arr[1]==arr[0]+diff[0]=5+5=10

B[l[i]-1] = (B[l[i]-1] + MOD - B[i+1])%MOD;
        B[r[i]]   = (B[r[i]] + B[i+1])%MOD;

Same technique for Type 2 commands as well.

And I think this was pretty much it of this code. In case your doubt persists, please check editorial, he has explained this approach there.

Here why two array is considered instead of one ?
A[l[i] - 1] = (A[l[i] - 1] + B[i+1])%MOD;
A[r[i]] = (A[r[i]] + MOD - B[i+1])%MOD;

B[l[i]-1] = (B[l[i]-1] + MOD - B[i+1])%MOD;
B[r[i]] = (B[r[i]] + B[i+1])%MOD;

these 4 lines still i am unable to understand.

Array is is to store Type 1 queries, Array B is to store results of Type 2 queries, which in turn affect Type 1 queries (and are hence counted when Type==1).
