Hi Everyone,
I am new to Python and programming in general. I bought the book "Python
Programming for the Absolute Beginner" by michael Dawson.
I have been working through it but am having trouble.
I am trying to make a coin flip program and keep geting a Synax Error
"invalid syntax".
If anyone has a moment could you please look at it and tell me what I am
doing wrong.
thanks for your time and patience.
Chad
# Coin Flip Program
# This program flips a coin 100 times and tells the number of heads and
tails.
# Chad Everett 2/3/2005
print "\t\t********Coin Flip Game*********\n"
import random
# heads = 1
# tails = 2
tries = random.randrange(2) + 1
count = 1
while count != 100:
if tries == 1:
heads = 1
count += 1
else tries == 2: # I AM GETTING THE SYNTAX ERROR HERE
tails = 1
count += 1
print "heads: " + heads
print "tails: " + tails
raw_input("Press enter to quit")
