Python Python Basics (2015) Logic in Python Print "hi"

I've followed the video and written down the code

I have literally no idea what i'm supposed to write for this can anyone help please.

printer.py
def printer(count):
    print("Hi ")
printer(count)

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

This is the question

Hi Danny,

the challenge asks you to multiply "Hi " by count, so now you need to add the "count" variable to the body of the function. For the multiplication the usual * operator will do.

Good luck

Thanks for your help, however i can see myself getting stuck on this for a very long time. I just don't know what i'm required to write.

I don't know how to take the words you've sent and put it into practice

Ok, it's quite simple. Here we go:

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

Sometimes one does think too complicated ;)

Thanks dude, you're right! Sometimes one 'does' think its too complicated :)
