Please use a sensible subject line
I can't figure out how to write a program where you flip a
coin 100 times and it keeps track of how many heads
and tails you flipped but it has to be random.
This sounds like homework so we cannot give you a solution.
But here are some questions that may help you find a solution:
1) could you write a program to ask the user for a head or
a tail and store the answer?
2) could you make that program repeat 10 times and store
the count of heads only?
3) could you store the total for heads and tails into two
separate totals?
4) could you replace the user input with a random number?
5) could you make the random number result be one of two
values - say head and tail?
6) could you increase the repetitions to 100?
Done all that? Then you've solved your problem.
If you didn't where did you get stuck?
Show us your code and any errors.
HTH,
