Can you please show us where rand is declared .

2 solutions

Of course rand can be used as a function. However you have to include stdlib.h (or cstdlib) in order to make the compiler aware of it.

We don't have your complete code, and we have no idea which instance of rand in your app is throwing the error.

At a guess, somewhere in code you haven't shown us you are declaring a variable called rand and that definition is "masking" the std::rand function when you try to call it.

So look at the error message closely - it will contain line and column info to help you identify that, and then look for why. This may help: How to Write Code to Solve a Problem, A Beginner's Guide Part 2: Syntax Errors[^]

You should expect to get syntax errors every day, probably many times a day while you are coding - we all do regardless of how much experience we have! Sometimes, we misspell a variable, or a keyword; sometimes we forget to close a string or a code block. Sometimes the cat walks over your keyboard and types something really weird. Sometimes we just forget how many parameters a method call needs.

We all make mistakes.

And because we all do it, we all have to fix syntax errors - and it's a lot quicker to learn how and fix them yourself than to wait for someone else to fix them for you! So invest a little time in learning how to read error messages, and how to interpret your code as written in the light of what the compiler is telling you is wrong - it really is trying to be helpful!
