When I run this code (I'm also a noob) I get this result:-
[evaluate lines 1-22 from untitled-1.py]
The number of heads was 73
The number of tails was 100
Press the enter key to exit.
# Surely, if flipping a single coin 100 times your total number of heads and
tails should add up to 100
# not 173 or am I missing the point?
No, you're missing an indentation. If you check the code you're
running, I think you'll find that you didn't unindent the line
incrementing count.
Of course, it's less error prone to simply use
for count in xrange(100):
instead of while count < 100:
and you wouldn't need to increment count.
