So i am supposed to make a function named printer that prints "hi ' how ever many times the "argument" count says but i don't even know where to start on that

printer.py 
count = 4
def printer():
    print("{}".format(count))
printer()

the count should be a parameter in your function, and if you multiply a string by a number, the string gets appended the value that many times

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