CppRandMax

(C++) RAND_MAX

Standard macro [1]. It's a #defined constant in the header file cstdlib, which equals the limit returned by std::rand. In other words, std::rand returns RAND_MAX-1 at heighest.

Taken from my header file from C++ Builder:

  1. define RAND_MAX 0x7FFFU


In this case, RAND_MAX is 32,768, which equals 15 bits.
