not sure why Treehouse marks this wrong. It works in the terminal

help

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

looplist = list(range(0, len(TILES)))
for i in looplist:
    if TILES[i] == '||':
        print("\n")
    else:
        print(TILES[i], end = "")

On detecting the double-pipe, the code prints two carriage returns. The one in the print string, and one added by default.

# remove the extra "\n":
print()

# or remove the default "\n"
print("\n", end="")
