Write a C# Sharp program to calculate profit and loss on a transaction.

Sample Solution:-

C# Sharp Code:

using System;  // Importing the System namespace

public class Exercise17  // Declaration of the Exercise17 class
{  
    public static void Main()  // Entry point of the program
    {  
        int cprice, sprice, plamt;  // Declaration of variables to store cost price, selling price, and profit/loss amount

        Console.Write("\n\n");  // Printing new lines
        Console.Write("Calculate profit and loss:\n");  // Displaying the purpose of the program
        Console.Write("----------------------------");  // Displaying a separator
        Console.Write("\n\n");

        Console.Write("Input Cost Price: ");  // Prompting user to input the cost price
        cprice = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());  // Reading the input and converting it to an integer
        Console.Write("Input Selling Price: ");  // Prompting user to input the selling price
        sprice = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());  // Reading the input and converting it to an integer

        if (sprice > cprice)  // Checking if selling price is greater than cost price
        {  
            plamt = sprice - cprice;  // Calculating profit amount
            Console.Write("\nYou can book your profit amount : {0}\n", plamt);  // Printing the profit amount
        }  
        else if (cprice > sprice)  // Checking if cost price is greater than selling price
        {  
            plamt = cprice - sprice;  // Calculating loss amount
            Console.Write("\nYou got a loss of amount : {0}\n", plamt);  // Printing the loss amount
        }  
        else  // Handling scenario where cost price equals selling price
        {  
            Console.Write("\nYou are running in no profit no loss condition.\n");  // Printing a message for no profit and no loss
        }  
    }
}  
  

Sample Output:

Calculate profit and loss:                                                                                    
----------------------------                                              
Input Cost Price: 1000                                                                                        
Input Selling Price: 1200
