No line breaks :/

I'm not sure why, but when I do print(string, end="||"), the program makes no line breaks.

mapping.py 
TILES = ('-', ' ', '-', ' ', '-', '||',
         '_', '|', '_', '|', '_', '|', '||',
         '&', ' ', '_', ' ', '||',
         ' ', ' ', ' ', '^', ' ', '||'
)
string = ""
for tile in TILES:
    string += tile
print(string, end="||")

Your code, as is, concatenates all the TILES elements then prints the results. By specifying the end argument, you are asking that a || is added at the end of the print instead of a newline. With the print outside of the for loop it will only print once.

Try printing every tile with end='' so they're on the same line IF it isn't a ||. If it is a || then print a newline.

Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!!
