# Jump forward random generator

``

    rand_skip  amount (number)

Jump the random generator forward essentially skipping the next call to `rand`. You may specify an amount to jump allowing you to skip n calls to `rand`.

Introduced in v2.7

## Examples

# Example 1
``
      puts rand

      rand_skip

      puts rand
| ``
    # Basic rand stream skip

    # prints 0.75006103515625

    # jump random stream forward one
    # typically the next rand is 0.733917236328125

    # prints 0.464202880859375
# Example 2
``
      puts rand
      puts rand
      puts rand
      puts rand

      rand_reset

      puts rand

      rand_skip(2)

      puts rand 0.24249267578125
| ``
    # Jumping forward multiple places in the rand stream

    # prints 0.75006103515625
    # prints 0.733917236328125
    # prints 0.464202880859375
    # prints 0.24249267578125

    # reset the random stream

    # prints 0.75006103515625

    # jump random stream forward three places
    # the result of the next call to rand will be
    # exactly the same as if rand had been called
    # three times
