11,476 PointsI not sure how to make this work
I don't know how to replace '||' with \n
TILES = ('-', ' ', '-', ' ', '-', '||',
'_', '|', '_', '|', '_', '|', '||',
'&', ' ', '_', ' ', '||',
' ', ' ', ' ', '^', ' ', '||'
)
for item in TILES:
if item=='||':
print("\n")
print(TILES)
break

The trick is when you don't want the newline you have to specify the "end" parameter as an empty string.

11,476 PointsI have done that and it still isn't working thanks
for item in TILES:
if item=='||':
print(item, start="")
print(TILES)

231,110 PointsBut remember, when the item is '||' is when you do want a newline. You need an "else" condition for the other values. And the parameter that controls automatic newlines is "end", not "start".
And you probably will not want to print the entire "TILES" array at once.

Treehouse Project ReviewerHi Ashley, Your for loop starts well, in the loop you have to check if the item it's not equal with '||'
for item in TILES:
if item == '||':
Now you need to create to other variables, one which holds the end= attribute and an output attribute, both placed eventually in the print statement The end= attribute should hold a \n or an empty string
for item in TILES:
if item == '||':
new_line = '\n'
output = ''
else:
new_line = ''
output = item
print(output, end=new_line)
This is little bit tricky but after the video it can be done. I hope this helped you to understand a little bit better. happy coding

231,110 PointsNote: for this to work, the first line after "else" should be:
new_line = ''
Also, the solution most students arrive at is a bit more conscise.

11,476 Pointsi have tried it as a empty string but I don't get what you mean by parameter

231,110 Pointsif you want to print the item without a newline:
print(item, end="")
