NAME

std::linear_congruential_engine::discard - std::linear_congruential_engine::discard

Synopsis

void discard( unsigned long long z ); (since C++11)

Advances the internal state by z times. Equivalent to calling operator() z times and
discarding the result

Parameters

z - integer value specifying the number of times to advance the state by

Return value

(none)

Complexity

Notes

For some engines, "fast jump" algorithms are known, which advance the state by many
steps (order of millions) without calculating intermediate state transitions,
although not necessarily in constant time.
