(since C++11)

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

[edit] Complexity

[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.
