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.

Circle Class (Easy)
Write a Circle class that has the following member variables:
radius : a double
The class should have the following member functions:
Default Constructor: default constructor that sets radius to 0.0.
Constructor: accepts the radius of the circle as an argument.
setRadius: an 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
getCircumference: returns the circumference of the circle, which is calculated as circumference = 2 * pi * radius
Step1: Create a declaration of the class.
Step2: Write a program that demonstrates the Circle class by asking the user for the circle’s radius, creating
Circle objects, and then reporting the circle’s area, and circumference.
You should create at least two circle objects, one sets the radius to 0.0 and one accepts the radius as an…

You will then take the two Bubble objects and combine them to create a new, larger combined Bubble object. This will be done using functions that take in these Bubble objects as parameters. The Bubble class contains one data member, radius_, and the corresponding accessor and mutator methods for radius_, GetRadius and SetRadius. Create a member function called CalculateVolume that computes for the volume of a bubble (sphere). Use the value 3.1415 for PI. Your main function has some skeleton code that asks the user for the radius of two bubbles. You will use this to create the two Bubble objects. You will create a CombineBubbles function that receives two references (two Bubble objects) and returns a Bubble object. Combining bubbles simply means creating a new Bubble object whose radius is the sum of the two Bubble objects' radii. Take note that the CombineBubbles function…arrow_forward
