Python Python Basics (2015) Logic in Python Print "hi"

challenge task "hi" re: function

Write a function named printer. The function should take a single argument, count, and should print "Hi " as many times as the count argument. Remember, you can multiply a string by an integer.

don't know what I"m doing wrong....I suspect I need to get the argument to change after each print "hi" but can't figure it out after multiple trie

printer.py 
def printer(count):
    if count()== 1,2,3

        print ("hi ")

        count("1,2,3")

First thing that you need to do is write a function named printer :

def printer(count):

The next thing to do:

Second, we want to print "Hi" as many times as the count argument. In Python if we do 'Hi ' * 3 we will get Hi Hi Hi. So to continue our code then...

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

The operator that you are using in this case, is the operator that means multiplication.

I hope that clears things up for you
