Challenge is not accepting but terminal does

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.

Pleas see code below. Not sure why this is not passing, thank you

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

def tile_loop(TILES):

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

Don't use return in your loop, because it break your iteration.

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

def tile_loop(TILES):

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

tile_loop(TILES)
