Coin Toss Simulator
Write a class named Coin. The Coin class should have the following member variable:
• A string named sideUp. The sideUp member variable will hold either “heads” or “tails” indicating the side of the coin that is facing up.
The Coin class should have the following member functions:
• A default constructor that randomly determines the side of the coin that is facing up (“heads” or “tails”) and initializes the sideUp member variable accordingly.
• A void member function named toss that simulates the tossing of the coin. When the toss member function is called, it randomly determines the side of the coin that is facing up (“heads” or “tails”) and sets the SideUp member variable accordingly.
• A member function named getSideUp that returns the value of the sideUp member variable.

8. Circle ClassWrite a Circle class that has the following member variables:• radius: a double• pi: a double initialized with the value 3.14159The class should have the following member functions:• Default Constructor. A default constructor that sets radius to 0.0.• Constructor. Accepts the radius of the circle as an argument.• setRadius. A mutator function for the radius variable.• getRadius. An accessor function for the radius variable.• getArea. Returns the area of the circle, which is calculated as area = pi * radius * radius• getDiameter. Returns the diameter of the circle, which is calculated as diameter = radius * 2• getCircumference. Returns the circumference of the circle, which is calculated as circumference = 2 * pi * radiusWrite a program that demonstrates the Circle class by asking the user for the circle’s radius, creating a Circle object, and then reporting the circle’s area, diameter, and circumference.…
