Required knowledge
Basic C programming, Relational operators, If else
Logic to find profit or loss
In primary mathematics classes, you all have learned about profit and loss. If cost price is greater than selling price then there is a loss otherwise profit.
Formula to calculate profit and loss
Profit = S.P - C.P (Where S.P is Selling Price and C.P is Cost Price)
Loss = C.P - S.P
After quick recap of profit and loss let us code solution for the program.
Program to calculate profit or loss
/** * C program to calculate profit or loss */ #include <stdio.h> int main() { int cp,sp, amt; /* Input cost price and selling price of a product */ printf("Enter cost price: "); scanf("%d", &cp); printf("Enter selling price: "); scanf("%d", &sp); if(sp > cp) { /* Calculate Profit */ amt = sp - cp; printf("Profit = %d", amt); } else if(cp > sp) { /* Calculate Loss */ amt = cp - sp; printf("Loss = %d", amt); } else { /* Neither profit nor loss */ printf("No Profit No Loss."); } return 0; }
Output
Enter cost price: 1000
Enter selling price: 1500
Profit = 500
