A function is a bit of code that is held together in a code block under a name and can be run repeatedly. def needs to be before the name of each function. I hope that helps a little bit.

To pass this challenge you just need to multiply "Hi " by count. You've got everything else done.

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

Hi there,

def printer(count): # printer is the function name and count is the argument in parenthesis
    print("Hi " * count) # this the function's code block and actions it takes (in this example it will multiply the string "Hi " with the argument count

Hope this helps! Happy Coding!
