Newbie: Help Figger Out My Problem

[Casey Hawthorne]

It may be shorter but it keeps the entire list in memory and has to
iterate over the list twice!
Does he/she need the entire list?

import random
heads = 0
flips = 1000000
for i in xrange(flips):
    if random.randint(0,1): heads += 1
print "Heads:%s" % heads
print "Tails:%s" % (flips - heads)
