What is wrong with my code please?

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 item in TILES:
    if item == '||':
        print("\n")
    else:
        print(item, end=" ")

Your code is quite close, but the challenge wants the tiles (that are not ||) to be printed in an uninterrupted row. By using a string with a space as the end character you end up creating spaces between each of the tiles.

If you use an empty string like this:

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

Then the tiles are printed without any separation, and your code will pass the challenge.
