Explanation

To check whether there is loss or profit, we need cost price and selling price from the user and if the cost price is greater than the selling price, there is loss and loss is the difference of cost price and selling price (loss = cp – sp).

Similarly, if the selling price is greater than the cost price, there is profit and profit is the difference between the selling price and cost price (profit = sp – cp).

If the selling price and the cost price is equal, there is no loss or profit.
