I have no idea what your question is. Your title and the body of your post do not match.

To answer the question in the body of your question: It depends on what the probability of getting head should be. You can't find a number of flips where it will be 100% but you can get close.

Anyone do any tests on it? I would assume it has improved since C's rand(), but who knows. For some reason, and it could just be coincidence, I seem to see patterns. But even a crappy rand() function should be good enough to avoid that, so i may be seeing things. Zytan

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
