Write a Python function `loss_amount(actual_cost, sale_amount)` that calculates the loss amount on a sale. If the sale amount is greater than the actual cost, the function should return the loss amount (difference between sale amount and actual cost). Otherwise, it should return `0`. #### Example Usage ```python [main.nopy] print(loss_amount(1500, 1200)) # Output: 0 print(loss_amount(100, 200)) # Output: 100 print(loss_amount(2000, 5000)) # Output: 3000 ```
def loss_amount(actual_cost, sale_amount):
"""

Parameters:
actual_cost (float): The actual cost of the item.
sale_amount (float): The sale amount of the item.
Returns:
