take the input +3, +3, +4, -2, -4. As you run through this the first time, you generate intermediate values of 3, 6, 10, 8 4, and there are now matches within that set
I did not get this point. There is no any match within the set 3, 6, 10, 8, 4, all numbers are different.
Looks like an unfortunate typo - it should say "and there are no matches within that set." Because it doesn't match, you'll keep the offset, but repeat processing the list - the first two +3 then change the offset to 7 and 10, which finally gives you the second repeat.
Yep. Now it is clear.
I was confused with the problem statement and had exactly the same confusement as described here: reddit.com/r/adventofcode/comments....
Thanks.
