Name
advance function template — Moves iterator forward or backward
Synopsis
template <typename InputIterator, typename Distance>
void advance(InputIterator& i, Distance n);The advance function
template advances an input iterator i by a distance n. If the iterator is bidirectional or
random access, n can be negative.
If the iterator is random access, the advance function is specialized as
i + n;
other iterators apply the ++
operator n times (or -- for a bidirectional iterator when
n is negative).
