print "hi" multiple times with 'count' argument in function: def printer(count)

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.

do not know how to print count eight times. Thought about iterating through for loop but not sure that is done correctly.

printer.py 
def printer(count):
     for count in printer:
         count *= "Hi";
        print(count)

Yes this works thanks, was using 'x' instead of '*' in my code.
