3,305 PointsBasic Python code error. I'm probably missing something really simple.
I keep getting an error message with this code.
def printer(count):
print ("Hi " + count)

21,422 PointsTake a look at the operator you are using with your string "Hi". You'll want to multiply the string by the value passed in to count to get it to print out the number of times in count.

I know what you mean, I find myself wondering if I'm missing simple stuff a lot too. But it's important to remember that when learning a whole new language, a lot of 'simple' stuff is actually kind of complex!
With this, try looking a bit closer at the last line of instructions: "Remember, you can multiply a string by an integer."
I think that was put there because this code error is a common error, and I think that may give you a clue as to where to go next. Let me know if I can help more with this.
