Not sure what's wrong with my code

I've already researched this challenge and a mod gave what the correct output should be, I ran my code in workspaces and got exactly what she had in her code. Thank you!

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

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

You only need to print one newline.

print("\n", end="\n")  # This is WRONG. It prints two newlines (the first is the printing value the second is the `end`)

print("", end="\n")  # This code is CORRECT. It prints only one newline.

# Note that this code below is the same as the one above (it prints exactly one newline):

print()

I hope this helps. ~Alex
