In python, my printer = int(input("Hi") does not work. I don't see whats wrong with that?

My task is: Write a function named printer. The function should take a single argument, count, and should print "Hi " as many times as the count argument. Remember, you can multiply a string by an integer. Thank you

printer.py 
def printer(count):
   printer = int(input("Hi"))
  printer * count

Hi Ali!

The only thing you need to do in this challenge is to print the string "Hi" multiplied by the count that you give to the function. I will give you a hint:

print('Hi' * count) #This multiply the string 'Hi' by the count (count is going to be a number, but here you dont have to use de int method becasue when you give a number as an argument in a function, it will remain as a number)

Good look and sorry for my poor english!
