[Tutor] Loop

[Alexandre Conrad]

Vincent,

You will need to move the line that flips the coin:

coin = random.randint(1,2)

and the if/else logic *inside* the loop so it will be repeated as many
times as needed.

I'm not sure what you want to do with the input() inside the loop. Remove this.

Alex
