This error does not happen because you're missing something in your
code.  It's happening because you do have something in your code that
breaks it. You probably have a declaration of "time" or "srand" as a
variable or something similar in scope where you wrote the above line
of code. Otherwise, the error message would be a warning instead, and
the message text different ("implicit declaration of function").

For better help, we'ld have to see a minimal compilable example source
code that gave you that error message.
