Write a C program to find out profit or loss in buying an article

The formula for finding profit is as follows if the selling price is greater than cost price −

profit=sellingPrice-CosePrice;

The formula for finding loss is as follows if cost price is greater than selling price −

loss=CostPrice-SellingPrice

Now, apply this logic in the program and try to find whether the person gets a profit or loss after buying any article −

Example

Following is the C program to find the profit or loss −

 Live Demo

#include<stdio.h>
int main(){
   float CostPrice, SellingPrice, Amount;
   printf("
 Enter the product Cost : ");
   scanf("%f", &CostPrice);
   printf("
 Enter the Selling Price) : ");
   scanf("%f", &SellingPrice);
   if (SellingPrice > CostPrice){
      Amount = SellingPrice - CostPrice;
      printf("
 Profit Amount = %.4f", Amount);
   }
   else if(CostPrice> SellingPrice){
      Amount = CostPrice - SellingPrice;
      printf("
 Loss Amount = %.4f", Amount);
   }
   else
      printf("
 No Profit No Loss!");
   return 0;
}

Output

When the above program is executed, it produces the following result −

Enter the Product Cost: 450
Enter the Selling Price): 475.8
Profit Amount = 25.8000
