Thanks to all who replied. I did not ask for other iterations of my
program. I asked what was wrong with it. To those who did just that,
explained what was wrong, thank you for answering my question.

It may be shorter but it keeps the entire list in memory and has to
iterate over the list twice!
Does he/she need the entire list?
import random
heads = 0
flips = 100
for i in xrange(flips):
if random.randint(0,1): heads += 1
print "Heads:%s" % heads
print "Tails:%s" % (flips - heads)
"D
import random
flips = 100
results = [random.randint(0,1) for i in range(flips)]
heads = results.count(0)
tails = results.count(1)
print "Heads:%s" % heads
print "Tails:%s" % tails
I think this is more compact.

Hi,
About the error, you already got the answer from the "experts".
Beeing almost a newbie, I tried instead an elaboration of your example,
using lists.
Furthermore I timed the two methods and to my surprise the "list
method" takes longer:
# Head_Tail.py
import random, time
nStart= time.time()

You can't just click the file.py icon and expect a program like that
to do something reasonable. There are two ways to deal with it:
1) start a DOS box a

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
