1. Substitute the given values into the expression:
   $$
   a \cdot b \cdot c - (a+b) + (a-b) = 1 \cdot 2 \cdot 0 - (1+2) + (1-2)
   $$

2. Calculate the product:
   $$
   1 \cdot 2 \cdot 0 = 0
   $$

3. Evaluate the sum and differences:
   $$
   (1+2) = 3 \quad \text{and} \quad (1-2) = -1
   $$

4. Substitute these results into the expression:
   $$
   0 - 3 + (-1)
   $$

5. Combine the terms:
   $$
   0 - 3 - 1 = -4
   $$

The final answer is:
$$
-4
$$
The value of $$ a b c - (a+b) + (a-b) $$ is $$-4$$.

If \( a=1, b=2, c=0 \), find the value of \( a b c-(a+b)+(a-b) \)
