Ali,
I am new at this but here is my interpretation.
1) flip coin 100 times, and print out the number of heads and number of tails.
from random import Random
score = [0,0]# first position will be heads and second position will be tails
count=0#counter to find out how many times we have flipped.
a = Random()#creates random object
while count < 100:
answer = a.choice((1,2))
if answer == 1:
score[0]+=answer
else:
score[1]+=1
count +=1
print("Heads:%s\nTails:%s" % (score[0], score[1]))

>t='tails'
>while True:
> flips+=1
> if flips>100:

> if True:
> print(flips,'=',h or t)

>But it prints every number with the string 'heads'. I'm really blank at this.
