    Post Please help me with the Coin flip rogram.

    Part 1: Coin Toss Game
    In this you will create a program that models coin objects. The coins
    will be used in a coin toss game to win a sum of money equal to double the
    amount the user bets before tossing the coin. The user will also enter their guess
    as either 0 for heads or 1 for tails (both as integers).
    Your solution should consist of two classes:
    1. The Coin class. Each coin will be initialized with a bet value and will contain
    two methods (plus a constructor):
     flip() : tosses the coin and returns either a 0 for heads or a 1 for tails. You can
    use the Math class from the java.util package to generate random numbers
    and simulate a coin toss. The Math.random() method returns a random
    floating point number between 0.0 and 1.0. You could call it "heads" if the
    number is greater than 0.5, and tails otherwise.
     getPrizeValue(): returns two times the initial bet value for this particular coin.
    2. The GamePlayer class that prompts the user (via a main method) to enter
    their bet amount in dollars and then choose either heads or tails. The
    GamePlayer should then create a new Coin with the user’s bet amount, flip
    the coin and return a statement either saying that the user lost or that the
    user won, and the amount of the prize . Prizes should be formatted as
    dollar values to two decimal places.

    Sample Output (win):
    Enter your initial bet value for the coin toss to the nearest dollar
    20
    Now enter your guess, enter 0 for heads or 1 for tails
    1
    You won! Your prize amount is:
    $40.00
    Sample Output (loss):
    Enter your initial bet value for the coin toss to the nearest dollar
    30
    Now enter your guess, enter 0 for heads or 1 for tails
    1
    You lost...please play again
