How would I ask the user if they want to play and then start the simulation? And if they don't the program prints a goodbye message. And print the total number of times the coin was flipped at the end.
import random def num_of_input(): userName = input("Please enter your name: ") print("Hello " + userName + "!" + " This program simulates flipping a coin.") while True: try: time_flip= int(input("How many times of flips do you want? ")) except: print("Please try again.") continue else: break return time_flip def random_flip(): return random.randint(0, 1) def count_for_sides(): count_head=0 count_tail=0 times=num_of_input() while True: if count_head + count_tail == times: break else: if random_flip()==0: count_head+=1 else: count_tail+=1 print() print(str(count_head) + " came up Heads") print(str(count_tail) + " came up Tails") count_for_sides() 1 Answer
You can get input from the user before calling the count_for_sides method and call it if they opt in.
import random def num_of_input(): userName = input("Please enter your name: ") print("Hello " + userName + "!" + " This program simulates flipping a coin.") while True: try: time_flip = int(input("How many times of flips do you want? ")) except: print("Please try again.") continue else: break return time_flip def random_flip(): return random.randint(0, 1) def count_for_sides(): count_head=0 count_tail=0 times=num_of_input() while True: if count_head + count_tail == times: break else: if random_flip()==0: count_head+=1 else: count_tail+=1 print() print(str(count_head) + " came up Heads") print(str(count_tail) + " came up Tails") userWantsToPlay = input("Do you want to play this game? (Y/n): ") if (userWantsToPlay == 'Y'): count_for_sides()
