4,344 PointsI must not know what they're asking..
So it works in eclipse, and I must say I am very happy about the bit of code I wrote.
Earlier I had similar code that required me to use a number for count, I choose 3 and it worked fine.
What do they want?

22,160 PointsWhat they are trying to do here is show you that you can multiply strings when using the print function.
So your code could look like this.
def printer(count):
print("Hi " * count)
Take note of the space after the Hi inside the quotation marks. :)

634 PointsHi, I have been stuck on this challenge. My code:
def printer(count):
print(count * "Hi ")
would not work. Could you briefly tell me why challenge doesn't like it the other way around?
