Stuck on Ruby Loops Challenge 1

I'm stuck. Please help me fix my answer to Ruby Loops Task 1:

loop.rb 
def repeat(string, times)
  fail "times must be 1 or more" if times < 1
  counter = 0
  loop do
    # YOUR CODE HERE
    print string
    counter =+ 1
    if counter == times
        break
    end
  end
end

It looks like the issue is with how you are incrementing count. I think you meant to type counter += 1, rather than counter =+ 1. Give that a shot and it should work.
