close but not quite

my else statement is wrong but im drawing a blank here

mapping.py 
TILES = ('-', ' ', '-', ' ', '-', '||',
         '_', '|', '_', '|', '_', '|', '||',
         '&', ' ', '_', ' ', '||',
         ' ', ' ', ' ', '^', ' ', '||'
)
for item in TILES:
    if item != '||':
        print (item)
    else:
        TILES= '\n'.join(TILES)

Every print statement has an implied \n appended. So the challenge is actually asking is to print any non-|| item without a \n (this can be done with the end argument), and to print a new line if the item is ||. For the second condition, both print() and print('\n') will work.

Post back if you have more questions. Good luck!!

This one works on my idle, but its not accepted for the challenge

for item in TILES:
    if item != '||':
        print (item, end = ' ')
    else:
        print(end = '\n')
