Print "hi"

Hey everyone!

While I'm aware this code works:

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

I want to know why my code did not.

def printer(count): for int in count: print "Hi "

printer(3)

Could someone tell me the difference? I figure count must be an int, therefore I can multiply the string by the integer (as the instructions state). What is wrong with my code?

count has to be a list or a tuple. the in keyword specifies were looking for an item in a list or collection of data.
