Fairly easy:
if Cur_Count > Max_Count:
Max_Count = Cur_Count
See? Just two extra lines of code.

I would loop through the list with a for loop, keeping track of the

Sheesh! OK, *Python* regular expressions are for

Hello,
I thought it'd be cool to write a program for my logic/critical thinking
class, and right now we're evaluating randomness - and the deception of
it. A previous post inspired it - coin flipping.
So, I've written a program that flips a coin 1000 times and records it
all in a dictionary, like
