You are close. The print needs to use both the "Hi " string and the count:

# Write a function named printer. 
# The function should take a single argument, count, and...
def printer(count):
    # should print "Hi " as many times as the count argument.
    # Remember, you can multiply a string by an integer.
    print("Hi " * count)

You don't need to call the function. You just need to define it. Also, call the print function on count * "Hi" as in the code below:

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

Thank you very much for the quick help I did not think about multiplying integer.
