The challenge asked you to print the result:

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

and you can do the multiplication in either order:

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

You're almost there. This challenge is asking for a function that will print out count * HI. Right now it's just going to give you None. You can check this out by testing the code. 

def printer (count):
        count * "Hi"

printer(5)

Console answer 

=> None

So you just need to print your count * Hi in the function.
