Hi Addison,

You declared your function correctly, but there's a bit of an issue inside. You don't need to set count equal to an integer because it is a parameter that will be passed into the function whenever it is called. You can simply multiply the string "Hi " by count.

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

I hope this helps and happy coding!
