What did I do wrong?

Not sure what I did wrong. I run it in work spaces and get the desired output.

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

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

By default the print function prints a newline. Passing in a newline will print the newline you specified and the newline the print function prints anyway.

Passing in no parameters to the print function (when you are trying to print the newline) should do the trick :smile:

print('\n')  # This prints TWO newlines. The challenge doesn't like this...

print()  # This prints ONE newline. The challenge seems to expect this in your code :)

I hope this helps. ~Alex
