Sorry I didn't read the answer. I thought u were trying to put name with Hi. My mistake. I saw the challenge. You need to print hi. So, try this code below. def printer(count): print("Hi"*count) when a string is multiplied with a int, the print function prints the string as many times as the value that count contains. I apologize for the mistake, hope this helps
