Trying to figure out what I'm missing here. The program ran in the workspace but won't run here? Thanks
def printer(word, count):
return(word) * count
print(printer("Hi ",10))

Treehouse Moderator 68,454 PointsThe challenge says "Write a function named printer. The function should take a single argument, count, and should print 'Hi ' as many times as the count argument."
count should be the only parameter specified:
def printer(count):
print("Hi " * count)

def printer(count):
if count == '6':
print(6 * 'Hi\n')
printer("6")

Treehouse Moderator 68,454 PointsIf you're not trying to solve the challenge the code is fine.
While legal code, it will not pass the challenge. It only works for a string value of count. The challenge wants count to be an int. The code also adds a newline char after each "Hi" instead of a space.
