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

Python Basics: Write a function named print and print "Hi" multiplied by the number that is input.

"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."

I am really lost with what I am meant to do here. I have looked back over the older videos but can't seem to work it out.

printer.py 
def printer(count):
    if count == num
        int(print("hi" * num))

You should do: def printer(count): print("Hi" * count)

In your code, you are checking if count is equal to num. And num has not been defined.
