Please give a better description of the problem than "random numbers that are supposed to be generated will not cout"

That makes little sense.

I am using overloaded operators in a fraction program. Part of the program is to have random numbers generated to the screen for the user to guess the correct answer. I can not get the random numbers to print to the screen. Everything else will.

Sorry, I was asking for details, not concepts. What, when, where type of information. With 83 lines of code going all over the place, pinpoint the problem area.

60-62 , 66-72

60-62

I see no definition of resultant.setNum(n); so maybe it doesn't do what you want it to do.

66-72

These lines output nothing but text then input 3 values.
