#include <iostream>
#include <string>


using namespace std;


//main method
int main(){
	float sellingPrice;
	float priceGood;
	float profit=0;
	float loss=0;
	// If the price of selling and price of cost of a good or product is entered through keyboard.
	for(int year=1; year<=3; year++){
		cout<<"Enter the price of selling for year "<<year<<": ";
		cin>>sellingPrice;
		cout<<"Enter the price of cost of a good or product for year "<<year<<": ";
		cin>>priceGood;
		// finding whether the seller (business) has made profit out of business or has suffered loss, 
		if(sellingPrice>priceGood){
			cout<<"\nThe seller (business) has made profit.\n\n";	
			//find out how much profit or loss has been made by the business in these three years
			profit+=(sellingPrice-priceGood);
		}else{
			cout<<"\nThe seller (business) has suffered loss.\n\n";	
			loss+=(priceGood-sellingPrice);
		}
	}


	cout<<profit<<" profit has been made by the business in these three years.\n";
	cout<<loss<<" loss has been made by the business in these three years.\n\n\n";
	
	system("pause");
	return 0;
