so this is my entire code. The problem is that when I try to drop multiple chips and then print out the total winnings and the average winning per chip all I get is 0. I am really stuck, brand new to computer science and coding and all out of options. I'm sure its easy to fix, maybe I'm missing something or did something wrong. But I can't for the life of me figure out how to fix it. Please help! Thank you!!!!!!
(and I know it would be easier to use functions but in this assignment we are told not to use functions)
