You have to make a function named printer that takes count as an argument and prints "Hi " as many times as the count argument 

def printer(count):
  while count != 0:
    print("Hi ")
    count -= 1

The challenge is asking you to print "Hi" count number of times.

For example, printer(5) should print "Hi Hi Hi Hi Hi". Your code only prints "Hi " regardless what count you pass in.

You can use a loop like Levan Mebonia suggested or you can use python's * operator.
