- According to the following study, a nickel can land on its side 1 out of 6000 times: https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1993PhRvE..48.2547M/abstract . I added this feature to the code. It chooses a number out of 6000, if it is less than 3000, it is tails, and if it is more than 3,000 it is heads. However, if the number is exactly 3000, this means that the coin landed on its side. - I also put the bulk of the code in a while loop so the user does not have to restart the program every single time. - Lastly, now the program does not crash if the user types in an invalid value. It now just asks the user to type in a valid number, and then it loops back. (p.s, a seed isn't really random, because a seed value of, let's say 7, will get you the same outcome every time. It should choose a random number/outcome without the seed being a variable)
