The clue and answer is in the question.

" Remember, you can multiply a string by an integer."

Kenneth is saying that you can simply multiply "Hi" by the argument (an integer) that you are passing into the function.

so "hi" X some number say 3 will print "HiHiHi" 

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

Its super important to read the question as this what a lot of coding is about, finding the right answer to a question, pulling apart the question will help you write your algorithms and become an amazing coder!

Keep going you are doing great!

Thanks for the assistance but still it didn't work.

def printer (count): if count == 100: print ("Hi " * 100 )

Thanks for the assistance once again. Unfortunately, i don't know what i have been dong wrongly because i'm yet to progress from this point. I think this is my exact code def printer (count): if count == 3: print ("Hi"*3)

Just that it aint working and i even tried it on spyder and not running too.
