# advanced(by:)

Advances the time by the specified amount; this is meaningless in the context of an immediate scheduler.

```
func advanced(by n: ImmediateScheduler.SchedulerTimeType.Stride) -> ImmediateScheduler.SchedulerTimeType
```

## Parameters

`n`

The amount to advance by. The `ImmediateScheduler` ignores this value.

## Return Value

An empty `SchedulerTimeType`.
