I've been writing a program in python that simulates 100 coin tosses and gives the total number of tosses. The problem is that I also want to print the total number of heads and tails.
Here's my code:
import random
tries = 0
while tries < 100:
tries += 1
coin = random.randint(1, 2)
if coin == 1:
print('Heads')
if coin == 2:
print ('Tails')
total = tries
print(total)
I've been racking my brain for a solution and so far I have nothing. Is there any way to get the number of heads and tails printed in addition to the total number of tosses?
import random
total_heads = 0
total_tails = 0
count = 0
while count < 100:
coin = random.randint(1, 2)
if coin == 1:
print("Heads!\n")
total_heads += 1
count += 1
elif coin == 2:
print("Tails!\n")
total_tails += 1
count += 1
print("\nOkay, you flipped heads", total_heads, "times ")
print("\nand you flipped tails", total_tails, "times ")
import random
samples = [ random.randint(1, 2) for i in range(100) ]
heads = samples.count(1)
tails = samples.count(2)
for s in samples:
msg = 'Heads' if s==1 else 'Tails'
print msg
print "Heads count=%d, Tails count=%d" % (heads, tails)
You have a variable for the number of tries, which allows you to print that at the end, so just use the same approach for the number of heads and tails. Create a heads
and tails
variable outside the loop, increment inside the relevant if coin == X
block, then print the results at the end.
Keep a running track of the number of heads:
import random
tries = 0
heads = 0
while tries < 100:
tries += 1
coin = random.randint(1, 2)
if coin == 1:
heads += 1
print('Heads')
if coin == 2:
print ('Tails')
total = tries
print('Total heads '.format(heads))
print('Total tails '.format(tries - heads))
print(total)
import random
tries = 0
heads=0
tails=0
while tries < 100:
tries += 1
coin = random.randint(1, 2)
if coin == 1:
print('Heads')
heads+=1
if coin == 2:
print ('Tails')
tails+=1
total = tries
print(total)
print tails
print heads
tosses = 100
heads = sum(random.randint(0, 1) for toss in range(tosses))
tails = tosses - heads
You could use random.getrandbits()
to generate all 100 random bits at once:
import random
N = 100
# get N random bits; convert them to binary string; pad with zeros if necessary
bits = "{1:>0{0}}".format(N, bin(random.getrandbits(N))[2:])
# print results
print('{total} {heads} {tails}'.format(
total=len(bits), heads=bits.count('0'), tails=bits.count('1')))
Output
100 45 55
# Please make sure to import random.
import random
# Create a list to store the results of the for loop; number of tosses are limited by range() and the returned values are limited by random.choice().
tossed = [random.choice(["heads", "tails"]) for toss in range(100)]
# Use .count() and .format() to calculate and substitutes the values in your output string.
print("There are {} heads and {} tails.".format(tossed.count("heads"), tossed.count("tails")))
I ended up with this.
import random
flips = 0
heads = 0
tails = 0
while flips < 100:
flips += 1
coin = random.randint(1, 2)
if coin == 1:
print("Heads")
heads += 1
else:
print("Tails")
tails += 1
total = flips
print(total, "total flips.")
print("With a total of,", heads, "heads and", tails, "tails.")
