The challenge states that you need to include an argument called count in your function. The argument should go in the parentheses after the function name. You do not need to supply the value of 5. The challenge tester will supply an integer and it will be supplied to your function via the count argument.

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

Almost there the * 5 should be within the brackets as the variable count
