Your programm gives an error. You are trying to concatenate strings with
integers.
http://docs.python.org/lib/typesseq-strings.html
import random
heads = 0
tails = 0
flips = 0
while flips < 99:
coin = random.randrange(0, 2)
if coin == 0:
heads = heads + 1
else:
tails = tails + 1
flips = flips + 1
if flips >= 99:
print "Heads: %s" % heads ## string formatting
print "Tails: %s" %tails ## string formatting
print "Total: %s flips" % flips ## string formatting
raw_input("Press the enter key to exit.")
