using While Loop

[coolindienc]

If I want to use while loop instead for loop in below program, how would I do that?

Andy

import random
 
heads = 0
for i in range(100):
 heads+=random.randrange(2)
tails = (100-heads)
 
print "The coin landed on heads " + str(heads)+ " times and on tails " + str(tails) + " times"

As being discussed in a current thread, for is you best choice here. But as an example of how while work, I'll modify your loop in a couple of ways:

import random
 
heads = 0
i = 0    # zero thru 99
while i < 100:
    # it is usual to use the counter for something
    heads+=random.randrange(2)
    i += 1    # increment the counter
 
heads = 0
i = 0    # 1 thru 100 using break
while True:
    i += 1    # maybe you don't want to start at zero for some reason
    heads+=random.randrange(2)
    if i >= 100:
        break
