I have been teaching myself Python using a book. The chapter I am on
currently, covers branching, while loops and program planning. I am
stuck on on of the challenges at the end of this chapter, and I was
hoping to get some help with this. Here it is:
Write a program that flips a coin 100 times and the tells you the number
of heads and tails.
I have tried to think about several ways to go about doing this but I
have hit a wall. Even though I understand the general concept of
branching and looping, I have been having trouble writing a program with
these. I look forward to your reply that will help me understand these
structures better.
Sincerely,
Raj

I am learning also, I came up with;
#!/usr/bin/python
import random
random = random.Random()
choice = ['heads', 'tails']
head_wins = 0
tail_wins = 0
def coin_flip():
flip = random.choice(choice)
global head_wins
global tail_wins
if flip == 'heads':
head_wins += 1
elif flip == 'tails':
tail_wins += 1
def number_flips():
for i in range(100):
coin_flip()
number_flips()
print 'Head Total Wins =', head_wins
print 'Tail Total Wins =', tail_wins
