So you need to create this printer function that takes an argument count (provided behind the scenes by Treehouse) and whatever number they provide, will be how many times "Hi" is printed, so the code would look like this :

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

Hope this helps! Happy coding :)

Dude, thats where the count gets me. As I see your code and read the instructions it all makes sense. Thank you so much.
