mitchallen.coin
A simple, lightweight Python package for coin flip simulations, perfect for 50/50 decisions, games, and probabilistic applications.
Installation
pip install mitchallen-coin
Or using uv:
uv add mitchallen-coin
Quick Start
from mitchallen.coin import flip, heads, tails
# Get a boolean coin flip result
result = flip()
print(result) # True or False
# Alternative: using heads()
is_heads = heads()
print(is_heads) # True or False
# Alternative: using tails()
is_tails = tails()
print(is_tails) # True or False
Usage Examples
Simulate a Coin Flip
from mitchallen.coin import heads, tails
# Using heads()
if heads():
print("Heads")
else:
print("Tails")
# Or using tails()
if tails():
print("Tails")
else:
print("Heads")
Random 50/50 Decisions
from mitchallen.coin import flip
# Use flip() for 50/50 decisions
if flip():
print("Event A happens")
else:
print("Event B happens")
API Reference
flip()
Returns a random boolean value with 50% probability for True or False.
Returns:
bool: True or False with equal probability
Example:
from mitchallen.coin import flip
value = flip()
assert isinstance(value, bool)
# Use in conditional logic
if flip():
print("Heads!")
else:
print("Tails!")
heads()
Returns a random boolean value (same as flip()). Useful for simple boolean coin flip simulations.
Returns:
bool: True or False with equal probability
Example:
from mitchallen.coin import heads
result = heads()
if result:
print("Heads!")
else:
print("Tails!")
tails()
Returns a random boolean value (same as flip()). Useful for simple boolean coin flip simulations where you want to express the check as "tails".
Returns:
bool: True or False with equal probability
Example:
from mitchallen.coin import tails
result = tails()
if result:
print("Tails!")
else:
print("Heads!")
