# AsyncDropFirstSequence

An asynchronous sequence which omits a specified number of elements from the
base asynchronous sequence, then passes through all remaining elements.

```
struct AsyncDropFirstSequence<Base> where Base : AsyncSequence
```

## Topics

### Structures

[`struct Iterator`](/documentation/Swift/AsyncDropFirstSequence/Iterator)

The iterator that produces elements of the drop-first sequence.

### Instance Methods

[`func dropFirst(Int) -> AsyncDropFirstSequence<Base>`](/documentation/Swift/AsyncDropFirstSequence/dropFirst(_:))

Omits a specified number of elements from the base asynchronous sequence,
then passes through all remaining elements.

### Type Aliases

[`typealias Failure`](/documentation/Swift/AsyncDropFirstSequence/Failure)

The type of errors produced by this asynchronous sequence.

### Default Implementations
