The exercise just asks to print (s), (n) times using iteration. The exersise
is in a doctest which I didn’t really understand at first. So, I guess while I
was doing it “correctly” it wasn’t what the exercise is asking for. This I
guess is what the doctest is looking for.
"""Print the string `s`, `n` times.
Parameters
----------
s -- A string
n -- an integer, the number of times to
print `s'
Examples
--------
>>> print_n("hello", 3)
hello
hello
hello
>>> print_n("bye", 0)
>>> print_n("a", 6)
a
a
a
a
a
a

Without out a break or placing that 10 in there I can’t think of a way to have
the while loop stop once it reaches (n). Any hints?
