I'm trying to teach myself Python (probably running into the old dog
new tricks issue) and I'm trying to start with the very basics to get a
handle on them.
I'm trying to write code to get the computer to flip a coin 100 times
and give me the output of how many times heads and tails. After solving
a few syntax errors I seem to be stuck in an endless loop and have to
kill python. A few times I would get it to print 'heads 0 (or 1) times
and tails 1 (or 0) times' 100 times.
Here's the code I wrote:
import random
flip = random.randrange(2)
heads = 0
tails = 0
count = 0
while count < 100:
if flip == 0:
heads += 1
else:
tails += 1
count += 1
print "The coin landed on heads", heads, 'times ' \
"and tails", tails, 'times'
