in that document is supposed that in function "do_twice" you call the function "print_twice" not just "print"

Of course. But this exercise is introduced before loops.

EDIT: Remember this is a book to learning to think like a programmer, and this way without using loops is part of the process.

Right, the intent is to practice using the features we have so far -- and especially to practice writing functions and calling them.

But it's not a great exercise. I'm cutting it from the third edition.
