Relative Item Selection notations

Dear All

I have a file on the relative item here by someone which works in creating a diagrid successfully across the building but I don’t understand the logic behind the mask used here. What does the following notation mean?
{+1}[+1]
{+1}[-1]
(I normally use {1;-1} etc only.

Many thanks in advance!
Kind regards

It would be helpful to watch the linked video tutorial from data tree Masterclass by @DavidRutten.
