Do not understand errors in basic c++ program

Question

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main(void) {
    int number, guess;

    srand(time(NULL));
    number = rand() % 101;

    cout << "Guess a number between 0-100: ";
    cin >> guess;

    if(number > guess) {
        cout << "The number is greater!\n";
    }
    else if(number < guess) {
        cout << "The number is smaller!\n";
    }
    else {
        cout << "Cognratulations! The number is "number"!\n";
    }
    cin-get();

    return 0;
}

error: 'srand' was not declared in this scope
error: 'rand' was not declared in this scope
error :expected ';' before 'number'

Answer 1

You need to add:

#include <cstdlib>

to include srand() and rand()

When you need to use functions like this, looking at the man pages (or googling them) will tell you which header(s) you need to include.
