The heads and tails bit is a red herring. Don't try and model it in your code. It does nothing more than signal a binary condition, and provide a tag to hang the result on (at least in this context). #!/usr/bin/python import random i=0 for flip in range(100): i += random.choice((0,1)) print "Heads: %d, Tails: %d" % (i, 100-i) # Tim bowden _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
