thrust::advance

template<typename InputIterator, typename Distance> void thrust::advance(InputIterator &i, Distance n)

advance(i, n) increments the iterator i by the distance n. If n > 0 it is equivalent to executing ++i n times, and if n < 0 it is equivalent to executing i n times. If n == 0, the call has no effect.

The following code snippet demonstrates how to use advance to increment an iterator a given number of times.

#include <thrust/advance.h>
#include <thrust/device_vector.h>
...
thrust::device_vector<int> vec(13);
thrust::device_vector<int>::iterator iter = vec.begin();

thrust::advance(iter, 7);

// iter - vec.begin() == 7
