Hello- I am running Python v 3.1.1. As an exercise, I wrote a simple
coin flipper program, where the computer flips a coin 100 times and
then prints out the number of heads and tails. My program crashes
immediately if I run it normally through the command line, but if I go
to "Run- Run Module," it seems to work just fine. I can't seem to
figure out why. I've pasted the relevant code below- any help will be
greatly appreciated. Thanks!
If I read it correctly, you probably *think* it crashes because when you
run this script from the terminal, it will close right after it finishes
so you can't see any output.
See the last line for the solution.
import random
print("\tWelcome to the 'Coin Flipper' program!")
counter = 0
heads = 0
tails = 0
while counter < 100:
the_number = random.randint(1, 2)
if the_number == 1:
heads += 1
else:
tails += 1
counter += 1
print("\nI flipped the coint 100 times.")
print("It came up heads", heads, "times and tails", tails, "times.")
print("\n\nPress the enter key to exit.")
Change this line to:
input("\n\nPress any key to exit.")
Cheers,
Timo
