I don't get this this isn't working.

This looks correct to me or am I missing something?

mapping.py 
TILES = ('-', ' ', '-', ' ', '-', '||',
         '_', '|', '_', '|', '_', '|', '||',
         '&', ' ', '_', ' ', '||',
         ' ', ' ', ' ', '^', ' ', '||'
)

for tile in TILES:

    if tile != "||":
        print(end="")
    else:
        print(end="\n")

Hi Darrin,

You're very close and have the general idea, but as you suspected - yes, you are missing something.

This challenge asks you to loop through TILES and print the tile, or print a newline if the tile is ||.

Your code does not print any of the tiles. Your loop will print only blanks or newlines.

If you add tile as the first parameter in the print call in your if branch you'll get the desired behavior.

e.g.

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

Best of luck,

Eric
