while loops | Intro to CS - Python | Khan Academy

A small change I would make is have your coin flip count start at 1, because it's only at 0 before you run the while loop. You can see it prints out that you've done 0 coin flips after your first coin flip, and ends at 4 flips when it's really been 5.

It all depends on where you print the number of coin flips in the loop! If we moved the print statement until after the line `num_flips = num_flips + 1`, then we would see that the number of flips is 1 at the end of the first loop iteration.
