Question

(C++)Problem #1: Coin Tossing Simulation: Write a program that simulates coin tossing. Let the program prompt the user to enter the number of tosses N and count the number of times each side of the coin appears. Print the results. The program should call a separate function flip() that takes no arguments and returns 0 for tails and 1 for heads. The program should produce different results for each run.

Sample Input / Output

Enter the number of tosses N: 1000

The total number of Heads is: 495

The total number of Tails is: 505
