Hi Filip!

In the question it is asking you to define a function called printer and takes in an argument called count.

def printer(count):

Next it says to print "Hi" as many times the count is. This will need a for loop. We will say:

for i in range(count):

This will execute the code that is in this for block as many times the count is.

Now all we need to do is tell it to print "Hi" in the for loop.

The final version of the code should look like this:

def printer(count):
    for i in range(count):
        print("Hi")

Hope this helps.

If it does not work please let me know.

Thanks. :)

The task is asking for you to create a function where you take in 'count' as a parameter. Count will be a number, say 5, and then it will show Hi 5 times.

So basically:

>>>printer(5) 

Output will be:

HiHiHiHiHi
