[Tutor] while/if/elif/else loops

[Pujo Aji]

Hello,

I see two things can be changed a little bit.
1. redundant: while, if
2. print style at the last statement.

see below:

#Coin Toss Game
#Zameer Manji
import random

print "This game will simulate 100 coin tosses and then tell you the
number of head's and tails"

tosses = 0
heads = 0
tails = 0

while tosses<100:
coin = random.randrange(2)
tosses +=1
if coin == 0:
heads +=1
print "Heads"
else:
tails +=1
print "Tails"

print "100 tosses have been simulated. Please wait for your results"
print "Out of %s, %s were heads and %s were tails" % (tosses, heads, tails)


cheers,
pujo
