Dave has explained in his first paragraph(above) how to do it.
n is a parameter in your function so the value is passed in
by the caller. You should not be using a literal 10 you should
be using n, since that's the required number of repeats.

Then you need to create a new local variable in your function
and let that variable count up until it equals whatever n is.
That's where the iteration comes in. And as you count
up, towards n, print s.
