def printer(count): print("Hi {}".format(count)*10) printer('')

output: Hi Hi Hi Hi Hi Hi Hi Hi Hi Hi

but still wrong.

printer.py 
def printer(count):
    print("Hi {}".format(count)*10)

printer('')

You don't need to call the function printer in the challenge. Also, you don't need to print count with Hi. Your code should look like this:

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

Hope this helps!

The instructions say that the function "should print "Hi " as many times as the count argument".

But the code here always prints 10 times, and prints the argument as part of the output. So if the challenge were to test it by calling "printer(5)" the output would be: "Hi 5Hi 5Hi 5Hi 5Hi 5Hi 5Hi 5Hi 5Hi 5Hi 5".
