PROBLEM:

Chef bought a stock at value X and sold it at value Y. Did he make a profit, loss, or neither?

EXPLANATION:

This task is solved by simple case analysis:

  • If X \gt Y, Chef spent more than he gained, so he made a loss.
  • If X \lt Y, Chef spent less than he gained, so he made a profit.
  • If X = Y, Chef’s spending equals his gains, so it was a neutral deal.

Check all three cases using if conditions and print the appropriate answer.

TIME COMPLEXITY:

\mathcal{O}(1) per testcase.

CODE:

    x, y = map(int, input().split())
    print('Profit' if x < y else 'Loss' if x > y else 'Neutral')
