Problem with challenge Python Collection

Hi, could you please advise what is the problem with my code. It is works in another shell but not in treehouse

Below the task

OK, here's a...weird...set of tiles. I need you to loop through TILES and print out each item. 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). Use the end argument to print() to control whether things print on a new line or not.

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

for i in TILES:

    if i == '||':
        print("\n")

    else:
        print(i, end = '')

You are very close. The print adds an end-of-line automatically. When you print "\n", two EOL characters are printed. Use an empty string instead: ""
