Tiles not giving right output

This always bothers me! I get the correct output in workspaces but the challenge gives me the error "Didn't get the right output". Anyone for the rescue?

See the attached code.

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


for tile in TILES:
    line_end = ""
    if tile != "||":
        print(tile, end = line_end)
    else:
        line_end = "\n"
        print(tile, end = line_end)

Note that the challenge states:

"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 are currently printing the item as well as the new line.

You are very close. If the tile is the double-pipe then do not print that tile. Instead print a regular EOL:

TILES = ('-', ' ', '-', ' ', '-', '||',
         '_', '|', '_', '|', '_', '|', '||',
         '&', ' ', '_', ' ', '||',
         ' ', ' ', ' ', '^', ' ', '||'
)


for tile in TILES:
    line_end = ""
    if tile != "||":
        print(tile, end = line_end)
    else:
        #line_end = "\n"
        print("")
