Java Script Image Slider Explanation

[felix.]

Hello,
I've been looking for a working little & simple Java Script Image Slider for a bit longer.
I found something now and it works pretty good. But it would help me very much, if someone could explain to me quite briefly the functionality. (I know it's probably really easy)
Thanks in advance!
My Code:

var slideIndex = 1;
showDivs(slideIndex);
function plusDivs(n) {
     var y = document.getElementById("slide1");
     y.style.display = "none";.

    showDivs(slideIndex += n);
}
function showDivs(n) {
  var i;
  var x = document.getElementsByClassName("mySlides");
  if (n > x.length) {slideIndex = 1}
  if (n < 1) {slideIndex = x.length}
  for (i = 0; i < x.length; i++) {
    x[i].style.display = "none";
  }
  x[slideIndex-1].style.display = "block";
}

Overcomplicating. You are hiding next div in a line and then going back for one to show the active one.

Try using css classes together with js. Less code with same results.
