Just for the heck of it:
heads = sum(random.randrange(2) for i in range(100))

By applying a couple of other ideas that have been suggested you get
something shorter and arguably slightly clearer:

Greetings,
As a thread starter, I thought I should write the rewritten code I got that
others helped me get to, since this thread is still going on.

Arrr thats better Nithya it works fine now. I had it working fine before it
was just coming up with that strange result of 73 and 100
when I copied the code into wing to check it out in order to understand it.
Wing picked up the spacing and I had already corrected
that Dave as I was simply looking
Hi there,
This is the Code. Please check it.It is working fine.
>>>import random
>>>headsCount = 0
>>>tailsCount = 0
>>>count = 1
>>>
>>>while count <= 100:
>>> coin = random.randrange(2)
>>> if coin == 0:
>>> headsCount += 1
>>> else:
>>> tailsCount += 1
When I run this code (I'm also a noob) I get this result:-
[evaluate lines 1-22 from untitled-1.py]
The number of heads was 73
The number of tails was 100
Press the enter key to exit.
# Surely, if flipping a single coin 100 times your total number of heads and
tails should add up to 100
# not
Hi Tom,
Your code is almost correct. Little mistake is there.The random number
generate should be in while loop.

Thanks everyone!
I should be using algorithms for even such programs at my level. The solution
to reiterate the coin flip every time in the loop works. Thanks a lot!

I've been trying to work on this challenge for a while now and can't
get it to work (either it has 100 heads or 100 tails).
Unfortunately your code has been mangled in the email, but I can guess
your problem: you need to set
coin = random.randrange(2)

asks me to write a program that "flips a coin 100 times and then tells you the
