Greetings,
I'm a Python beginner and working my way through Michael Dawson's Python
Programming for the Absolute Beginner. I'm stuck in a particular challenge that
asks me to write a program that "flips a coin 100 times and then tells you the
number of heads and tails." 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). I've
been reworking this code many times and currently what I have does not do
anything at all at IDLE. Please take a look at my code below:
import random
# set the coincoin = random.randrange(2)headsCount = 0tailsCount = 0count = 0
# the loopwhile count <= 100: coin if coin == 0: headsCount += 1
if coin == 1: tailsCount += 1 count += 1
print "The number of heads was", headsprint "The number of tails was", tails
raw_input("\n\nPress the enter key to exit.")
Thanks,S. Dawn Samson _______________________________________________
