  functions.
- <ctime>: For time() function to seed the random number generator.
Main Function:
- Initialize Random Seed:
  - srand(static_cast<unsigned>(time(0)));: Seeds the random number generator with the current time. This ensures different random sequences each time the program is run.
- Simulate Coin Toss:
  - int toss = rand() % 2;: Generates a random number, either 0 or 1. The % 2 operation limits the range to 0 and 1, simulating two possible outcomes for the coin toss.
- Output Result:
  - Checks the value of toss. If it is 0, it outputs “Heads”; if it is 1, it outputs “Tails”.

Notes:

Randomness: The rand() function generates pseudo-random numbers. By seeding with time(0)

, the sequence of numbers is different each time the program is run.
Simplified Simulation: This basic simulation does not account for the physics of coin tossing but uses random number generation to simulate the 50/50 chance of heads or tails.
