Line Endings - works in my console, but test won't pass :(

hi, need a little help, why won't this pass? - thx

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

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

figured it out by looking at some other questions about this

hey Kenneth Love, it's not very clear that a full empty line needs to be printed every time a || appears, the way I read it, seems to suggest to just print the next set of items on a new line, without the separate extra line to divide items.

I've updated the code challenge so hopefully there'll be less confusion from now on. Thanks for bringing it up!
