Need help on the Line endings code challenge of Python collections.

Here is my current code:

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

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

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

Hi Harry,

As a hint, there needs to be a blank line between each line of output.

So when you encounter the double pipes, think about what you'd have to print to get a blank line.

The wording in this challenge needs some work. It implies the focus is on the 'end' parameter of the print function, which is what Harry's code solves.

I was stuck on this for a while due to the same interpretation.

Jason's hint is what it took to solve the problem.
