Hi, I am trying to write a programme to count how many times a random point 
lies within the positive sector of a circle. So far I can display if the point 
lies inside the area but I need something to allow me to count the total number 
of items that lie inside the area. My programme is:>>> import random>>> for i 
in range(10):  x = random.random()     y = random.random()     count = 0       
if x*x + y*y < 1:               count = count + 1               print count

and I get a list down the screen like11111
depending on how many times a random point lies in the area. I am meant to do 
this with 10000 points so I can't simply count the 1's up like I can with 10. I 
have been looking on the internet but cant find anything that works yet. 
Thanks for your timeSteve Clarke
