Write a program that flips a coin 100 times and the tells you the number of heads and tails.

I have tried to think about several ways to go about doing this but I have hit a wall.
Even though I understand the general concept of branching and looping,
I have been having trouble writing a program with these.

You also need to understand the concept of variables as data stores.
And you will probably need to use a mechanism to generate random
values. The random module will help or you can simply read the time
and strip off the last two digits - that will be good enough for your
purposes!

Otherwise take a look at my tutorial for the various topics
Raw Materials - variables and data
Loops
Branches
File handling - for a very brief intro to reading the time

HTH,
