Passing random numbers to a function

Hi.I am learning C++.

I need to build code that does the following.

1) Generates 3 random numbers and passes them to next function
2) Next function uses these three different random numbers (lets say 66762734234234234, 9234234234444444444, 3545345555555) to pass them to x, y and z, which are then added. The numbers are large, so bigint is used.
3) The result is appended to text file.The file should look like this:
934855435345345435
4353453454354354555
345345435435436543534534
etc

So, the code should not prompt user for anything, just write lets say a million of added x,y and z to a text file.

The code below does what described above, except I dont know how to pass the random numbers to x, y and z. They are just printed on screen without being used by the following function. They are not connected with the addition function. Its just some snippet I found on the net.

Question.

How do I alter the code so random numbers (different for every increment and pass) are passed to the x, y and z.

Thanks.
V.
