The repeat method should take a string, and print it a specified number of times. Use loop and break to complete the method. Be sure to do the following: After printing the value of string, add 1 to the counter variable. Use an if statement together with the break keyword to break out of the loop once counter is equal to times.
def repeat(string, times)
fail "times must be 1 or more" if times < 1
counter = 0
loop do
# YOUR CODE HERE
repeat("hi", 5)
puts string
puts string
counter = 1
if counter <= times
break
end
end
end

Now , remove the repeat() statement, its unnecessary and the challenge never asked you to define it so yeah. Also, you're outputting string twice in your loop. And you need to increment by 1 , not override it. Finally here is how code should look like :
def repeat(string, times)
fail "times must be 1 or more" if times < 1
counter = 0
loop do
puts string
counter += 1
if counter == times
break
end
end
end
