Hi Alan,
There is confusion here about the role of these variables. Despite what
the comment says, I assume that 'heads' and
Yes I am going through the Michael Dawson book. Also, I am working from
the Alan Gauld book to reinforce my attempts at learning python.

As Danny says, try breaking the problem into chunks and solving
each bit separately. I'll provide a few comments on your code in
the meantime but try the "evolving soluition" approach too.
#assigning variables
Thank you for posting your code. That really helps us see where you are
and therefore how to help.
I encourage you to "desk check" your code: pretend you are the
computer: write down the values of variables and expressions as things
change. Evaluate each statement to see what it does.
Example:
he
This may not be up to the standard of the more experienced programmer
but here is my effort. An added bit is the ability to go on using the
code until you are fed up.
#To check the computers odds and evens
import random
anothergo = "y"
while(anothergo != "n"):
oddsevens = random.randrange(2

Hello,
I'm not so sure about your problem, but
probably this code can help
sumHead, sumTail = 0,0
listHeadTime = [] listTailTime = [] for i in range(100): time_start = time.clock() coin = random.randint(0,1) # 0 head, 1 tail time_stop = time.clock()

Hi Nick,
Do you might if we simplify the problem slightly? Say that you're only
flipping the coin two times. Can you

Hello all,
I had a new question about python. I am pretty much
in tutorial learning stages, but attempting to create sample programs not in my
book to learn how to cons
