Earl Additional knowledge: Single equal (=) is used to assign value so if you check (profit = 0) it would always return true. Double equal (==) is used to compare two values. So (profit == 0) will either return true or false depends on profit.

You run a hovercraft factory. Your factory makes ten hovercrafts in a month. Given the number of customers you got that month, did you make a profit? It costs you 2,000,000 to build a hovercraft, and you are selling them for 3,000,000. You also pay 1,000,000 each month for insurance. Task: Determine whether or not you made a profit based on how many of the ten hovercrafts you were able to sell that month. Input Format: An integer that represents the sales that you made that month. Output Format: A string that says 'Profit', 'Loss', or 'Broke Even'.
