Hi Dennis,

I think you're overcomplicating the challenge a bit, the challenge is asking you to: 

# Create a function named printer that takes an argument called count
def printer(count):
    # print "Hi " as many times as the count argument
    print( "Hi " * count)

I hope this helps

Jonas

Thanks Jonas, I realized that I did not have the ":" after def printer(count). It works now.
