I am missing a step with count

I have the beginning code added however, it is asking for a count with the code and I am trying to remember how to do this. and I suppose to make it an int?

like make printer(int(print('hi'*3))) or something along those lines or am I making this way more complicated then it should be.

printer.py 
def printer():
    print('hi')
printer(3*3)

Your asked to make a function that takes an argument in this case its count, the count will be what you multiply the string "hi" by. Below is how your code should look hope this explains it better. 

def printer(count):
    print("hi" * count)
