I can't figure out how to write a program where you flip a coin 100 times and
it keeps track of how many heads and tails you flipped but it has to be random.
Can you please help

Here is how one newbie would do it:
import random
# Initialize variables
head = 0
tail = 0
# Flip the coin a hundred times
for x in range(100):
choice = random.randint(1,2)
# Is it 'head'?
if choice == 1 :
head = head + 1
# If not 'head' then it must be tail
else :
tail = tail + 1
print "head = ",head
print "tail = ",tail
