I'm trying to make my program be able to add Rational objects with integers using type conversion. I've gotten it to compile but when i run it i just get a bunch of random numbers over 1 so something like this -8993458/1. My code for the conversion is.

operator int(){return s;}

Could someone please help me solve my problem. My full code is below...

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <cmath>

using namespace std;


class Rational{
    friend ostream &operator<<(ostream &, const Rational &);
    friend istream &operator>>(istream &, Rational &);  

  public:
      int num;
      int den;
      bool neg;
      int s;

      Rational(int n, int d); // contructor for rationals
      Rational(int n); // contructor for reals
      Rational();//default constructor

      int get_num();
      int get_denom();
      int gcd();
      void simplify();
      bool is_negative();
      Rational operator +(Rational&);
      //Rational operator +(int);
      Rational operator -(Rational);
      Rational operator *(Rational);
      Rational operator /(Rational);
      Rational& operator +=(Rational&);
      Rational operator -=(Rational);
      Rational& operator /=(Rational&);
      Rational& operator *=(Rational&);
      Rational operator ++(int);
      Rational operator ++();
      bool operator ==(Rational&);
      bool operator <(Rational&);
      operator int(){return s;}



};




int main(){
    Rational result, a, rat(5), rat2(1,2), rat3(5/2), rat4(3,2);
    int rhs = 3;
    int lhs = 2;

    result = lhs + rat2;
    cout << result.num << "/" << result.den << endl;


}

        b = a % b;
        a = temp;
    }
    return a;
}
void Rational::simplify()
{
    int gcdNum = gcd();

    if(gcdNum != 0)
    {
        num = num / gcdNum;

        den = den / gcdNum;
    }


}
bool Rational::is_negative()
{

        if(num < 0||den < 0)
            neg = true;
        else
            neg = false;


     return neg;

}

You should be able to simplify this 230 lines down to about 20 relevant lines for us :)

This issue is due to variable "s" in class. Which is not initialized. Please check the operator int also.
