and times
values passed in to the method. This means inside the method
1) Print string
. The checker will pass in a value of "hi" for string
2) Do not set a value for times
. The checker will pass in a value of 5 for times

hihihihihi
rather than:
hi
hi
hi
hi
hi
You have two options you could:
print "hi\n"
to print a newline but better would be to use puts:
puts "hi"
