Chapter 7, Problem 16PC

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 Co1 n 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.

Write a program that demonstrates the Coin class. The program should create an instance of the class and display the side that is initially facing up. Then, use a loop to toss the coin 20 times. Each time the coin is tossed, display the side that is facing up. The program should keep count of the number of times heads is facing up and the number of times tails is facing up, and display those values after the loop finishes.

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.…
True or FalseA base class reference variable can reference an object of any class that is derived from the base class.
Employee and ProductionWorker ClassesCreate an Employee class that has properties for the following data:Employee nameEmployee numberNext, create a class named ProductionWorker that is derived from the Employee class. The ProductionWorker class should have properties to hold the following data:Shift number (an integer, such as 1, 2, or 3)Hourly pay rateThe workday is divided into two shifts: day and night. The Shift property will hold an integer value representing the shift that the employee works. The day shift is shift 1 and the night shift is shift 2.Create an application that creates an object of the ProductionWorker class and lets the user enter data for each of the object’s properties. Retrieve the object’s properties and display their values.    this.ReportViewer1.Employee(); cannot reference?
