RAND_MAX is a macro defined in standard header <stdlib.h> (and
in <cstdlib> if your compiler supports the new headers).

To use any of the facilities of the standard library in C++,
you must include the associated header.

If you mean specifically rand_max, all lower case, that isn't a
standard identifier, and you'd have to ask elsewhere.
