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

Hi there,
This is the Code. Please check it.It is working fine.

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

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!

Unfortunately your code has been mangled in the email, but I can guess

Hi all,
I think that simply erasing those "continue" statements will let Python
respond again. Those statements are both useless and damaging, because
the following "time.sleep(.1)" statements will NEVER be executed. And
this, in turn, is IMHO the reason why Python stops responding: it lacks

That's the problem there...you've got coin assigned outside the while loop, so
it is assigned 0 or 1 once, before the loop, and then you're running 100
checks on the same value.
If you move

to inside the while loop before the if state
