You will need to move the line that flips the coin:

I'm not sure what you want to do with the input() inside the loop. Remove this.

Hello. Right now I am learning the python language through Python Programming
for the Absolute Beginner 3rd Edition. I am having trouble with one question in
Ch. 3 #2, which says "Write a program that flips a coin 100 times and then
tells
you the number of heads and tails." Right now I am havin
hi,
thanks for the feedback, it is much appreciated.

yes,
Also note that the database function creates a local variable "database"
but does nothing with it.
When the function terminates that variable is lost.
Did you intend to return it?
Also it is not good practice to use the same name for a function and a
variable.

thanks Steve, this response came handy.
I would have to take this home and read. if i encounter difficulties,
I'd get back to the house.
I'm grateful.
If I get more explanations though, it would be great.
Regards,

Hi.
Thanks for everyone answers. It's true, hehe, it's not a benchmark
or anything like that. I hadn't taken into account compiler
optimizations, but I have learnt a lot in this thread.
About the Java code, Bigints are used.

Did you mean to say "minutes" or rather "seconds" here? And did you
really mean to use "range" or rather "xrange" (or "range" in Py3)?
Yes, minutes and in Python 3.

Surely the compiler has to do the addition, so it should be slower?

A compiler for a statically compiled language can see that the
above loop yields a constant result, so it can calculate the result in
advance (or at least reduce the loop overhead for the calculation)
instead of generating code for the loop as it stands.
