Welcome to the Coin Toss Simulator page.
This page contains a brief description and implementation instructions for the project.
Project Description
Simulates flipping a coin. The program generates “Heads” or “Tails” at random using the random
module. It can ask the user how many flips to simulate and count the outcomes.
Project Requirements
Python 3.x (built-in random
module).
How to Run the Project
- Write a script (e.g.
coin_toss.py
) where each flip usesrandom.choice(['Heads','Tails'])
. - Run it:
python coin_toss.py
. Input the number of tosses; the program outputs the tally of heads vs tails.
Key Concepts Learned
- Random selection from a list.
- Loops to simulate multiple coin flips.
- Counting occurrences (using a loop or the
collections.Counter
).
Possible Extensions
- Allow a “biased coin” by altering probabilities.
- Visualize results or probability.
- Play a game of chance using the coin toss.
