That's what you want, but not what you did. You asked them for a string.

Temporarily, insert here:
           print "types:", type(i), type(hight)
           print "values:", i, hight
           if i > 100: return

Try this: printMultTable(int(num))

You may wish to consider changing "hight" to "height" :-)
