[edit template]

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

### [edit] Parameters

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

### [edit] Return value

(none)

### [edit] Complexity

| This section is incomplete

### [edit] Notes

For some engines, "fast jump" algorithms are known, which advancing the state by many steps (order of millions) without calculating intermediate state transitions.
