You're close! I tried something similar when I did this. Remember that for code blocks in python you need a colon and indentation, so you'd need to reformat your for loop if you were going to solve the challenge this way. However, that's not exactly what the challenge wants. If count = 3, the output should be "Hi Hi Hi", which is not what the for loop will do for you.
Instead, try multiplying your string in the print statement:
def printer(count):
print("Hi " * count)
Also, for future posts in the forum please provide a bit more context as to what problem you're trying to solve. Not sure I'd have understood your problem if I hadn't just done it myself.
