Implicit declaration of functions srand, rand and system

Question

Trying to solve an exercise where I have to print a random temperature value between 35°C & -10°C every 5 seconds followed by the date and time. Everything looks to be working as intended, however when I enter the code in a test script I get following errors.

This is my code:

#include<stdio.h>
#include<unistd.h>
#include<time.h>
#define temp_max 35
#define temp_min -10
#define FREQUENCY 5

int main(void)
{
srand(time(NULL));
while(1)
{
int number = rand() % (temp_max*100 - temp_min*100) + temp_min*100;
double temperature = (double) number;
temperature /= 100;
printf("Temperature=%1.2f @ ",temperature);
fflush(stdout); 
system("date");
sleep(FREQUENCY);
}
return 0;
}

These are my results:

This is what the test script checks for:

As I am unable to see my own mistakes, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Solution

You failed to #include <stdlib.h>. As a result, the functions you called were assumed to accept an unknown number of arguments and return a value of type int. This causes undefined behavior.

Put #include <stdlib.h> at the top of your file.

Is it normal that my script is able to run while I forgot this include? I always assumed that the script wouldn't even have ran if this was the problem..

@TheAlPaca02 The program will still compile with the mismatched signature. If the parameters are not of the correct type however, the compiler won't be able to detect it.

Ok understood, thanks! Will run the testscript again tomorrow morning.
