Can't find correct answer!!!!

I have typed over and over. I have read the teacher notes. Looked up questions. Watched the video over and over again. Why can't I get the right answer. Can someone please explain the correct answer. When I put in in python it works but i can't get passed this question!

printer.py 
del printer(count):
    print("Hi" * 10)

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

You put del and it is def. count is a variable = to any number you pass into the function.

Thanks everyone for your answers I really appreciate the help but I'm still getting it wrong with del printer(count): print("Hi " * count)

you need to do the following:

def printer(count):
   a_string = ("Hi" * count)
   return a_string

printer(3)

You define function with use of the keyword def.

If it asks you to avoid calling the function then just remove the printer(3) at the end

It is def not del.
