  - longJump
```
JumpableUniformRandomProvider longJump()
```
    Creates a copy of the JumpableUniformRandomProvider and then advances the state of the current instance. The copy is returned.
    The current state will be advanced in a single operation by the equivalent of a number of sequential calls to a method that updates the state of the provider. The size of the long jump is implementation dependent.
    
    Repeat invocations of this method will create a series of generators that are uniformly spaced at intervals of the output sequence. Each generator provides non-overlapping output for the length of the long jump for use in parallel computations.
    
    The returned copy may be jumped m / n times before overlap with the current instance where m is the long jump length and n is the jump length of the JumpableUniformRandomProvider.jump() method.
    
    Returns:
    
    A copy of the current state.
