C program for "If the cost price and selling price of an item is input through keyboard, write a program to determine whether the seller has made a profit or incurred loss. also determine how much profit he made or loss he incurred."

Problem: C program for "If the cost price and selling price of an item is input through keyboard, write a program to determine whether the seller has made a profit or incurred loss. also determine how much profit he made or loss he incurred."

Logic used :

• Input cost price and selling price
• Check if cost price is greater than selling price
• Loss = cost price - selling price
• Else check if selling price is greater than cost price
• Profit = selling price - cost price
• Else no profit , no loss

Formulae used :

Profit = selling price - cost price

Loss = cost price - selling price

C program :

// Program by shyam kanth

#include <stdio.h>

int main(){

    int sp,cp;

    printf("Enter the cost price of item : ");

    scanf("%d",&cp);

    printf("Enter the selling price : ");

    scanf("%d",&sp);

    if(cp>sp){

        printf("Seller has incurred loss.\n");

        printf("Total loss : %d.",cp-sp);

    }else if(sp>cp){

        printf("Seller has made profit.\n");

        printf("Total profit : %d.",sp-cp);

    }else{

        printf("No profit and loss made.");

    }

    return 0;

}

Codes used :

• #include < stdio.h > : Header file for input-output
• int : Integer data type
• sp, cp : Variable used
• printf : Function used for displaying message
• scanf : Function used for taking input
• if-else : Conditional statement
• else if : Else if ladder
