Not sure what's wrong with my codes.

I was told that "Did not get the correct result!". Yet, while I tested in Workspace, the result looks fine.

mapping.py 
TILES = ('-', ' ', '-', ' ', '-', '||',
         '_', '|', '_', '|', '_', '|', '||',
         '&', ' ', '_', ' ', '||',
         ' ', ' ', ' ', '^', ' ', '||'
)
for s in TILES:
    if s == "||":
        line_end = "\n"
        print(s, end = line_end)
    else:
        line_end = ""
        print(s, end= line_end)

You code will run and print things out but the instructions say:

Print each item on the same line unless the item is a double pipe (||). In that case, instead of printing the item, print a new line (\n).

You're adding a newline at the double pipes || which is correct, but you're also printing them print(s, end = line_end)

If that helped mark this as an answer. If not just reply back and I can help you out!

Cheers, -Zach

You are printing variable s when adding the new line. Instructions say to print "\n" INSTEAD OF "||" . You could try changing your first print statement to: print('', end = line_end). Notice double single quotes instead of s

Thank you both! I did not read the requirements carefully enough.
