Why is it not a const? I think this is not a clear C++ way.
Perhaps there is a more C++ way to generate random numbers, is there?

    If you’re looking for a “more C++-way”, you could use boost::random.

    Anyway, RAND_MAX is a macro, because it comes from “legacy C” rand() function, where using preprocessor symbols for declaring constants was a de-facto standard.
