Why is not correct: printer (count): while count: print ( "Hi " ) count -= 1

I think this a correct way to complete the code challenge but is giving me an error. Opinios please>

printer.py 
printer (count):
    while count:
        print ( "Hi " )
        count -= 1

# You have a good thought process on this one 
# but it's not what they're looking for here
# you can multiply a string by an integer. <-- this is the key to what the challenge is looking for
printer (count):
    while count:
        print ( "Hi " )
        count -= 1
