can you please explain how nearValues is adding values

"sssssssssssssssssssssss"

"checkedValues"

["value6"]

"nearValues"

[nil]

"sssssssssssssssssssssss"

"checkedValues"

["value3"]

"nearValues"

[nil, "value6"]

"sssssssssssssssssssssss"

"checkedValues"

["value2"]

"nearValues"

[nil, "value3", "value6"]

"sssssssssssssssssssssss"

"checkedValues"

["value1"]

"nearValues"

[nil, "value2", "value3", "value4", "value5", "value6"]
