RandomStreamSource<TRandom>.Advance Method

public abstract void Advance(
	ulong count
)

Public MustOverride Sub Advance ( 
	count As ULong
)

public:
virtual void Advance(
	unsigned long long count
) abstract

abstract Advance : 
        count : uint64 -> unit 

Parameters

count  UInt64

The number of indices to skip.

Implements

This method increments NextIndex by count without creating RNG instances. It is useful for skipping ahead in the stream sequence.

The cost of this operation depends on the implementation:

• RandomStreamTree<TRandom>: O(1) - just increments a counter
• RandomStreamPartition<TRandom>: O(count) - must perform jump operations
