Hi Martin,

Your code isn't doing anything with the count parameter that it takes. Additionally, while you can multiply a String, you can't multiply the print() method. So you'd want to enclose the multiplication inside the print() method, and make it multiply by the parameter count instead of hardcoding the multiplication to 3.

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

#  To call your method;
printer(3)
