What are you expecting a line like

                  print (income - cost == profit)

to do, and why?

That statement says in python, compare the value of income - cost to the
value of profit, and print True or False depending on if they are equal
or not.


Also, in python spacing is important, lines should not be randomly
indented. All the statements should be at the same indent (probably no
indent), except those controlled by the if and else statements, which
should be indented a bit more than the if and else statements.
