std::indepe...ine::discard(3)

std::independent_bits_engine::discard 🦋

okay bestie, welcome to the std::independent_bits_engine::discard page from the C++ Standard Libary manual — yes, that's the manual name folded in right here at the top, and we are so ready to talk about advancing state like it's nobody's business 💅.

NAME 💖

• std::independent_bits_engine::discard - std::independent_bits_engine::discard

SYNOPSIS ✨

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

okay so here's the whole vibe: it advances the internal state by z times. that's it, that's the gig 🫶. it's equivalent to calling operator() z times and discarding the result. and listen: the state of the underlying engine may be advanced by more than z times — so don't assume it's exactly z little steps under the hood, bestie 😭.

PARAMETERS 🍓

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

RETURN VALUE 🎀

(none) — literally nothing comes back. it does the advance thing and bounces ✨.

EXCEPTIONS 💀

Throws nothing. zero exceptions, no drama, not even a tiny throw 🙈.

SEE ALSO 🌈

• operator() — advances the state of the underlying engine and returns the generated value (C++11) (public member function)
