The print function requires that you wrap parentheses around the string you want to print:

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

Oh, I tried my function in my python shell. It worked, but I didn't realise I'm running Python 2.7.

Thanks though.

Ah yes, your code is correct for Python 2.x. All Treehouse courses are Python 3.x so would recommend downloading that for your local system.
