def time_difference(time_start, time_end):
    '''Calculate the difference between two times on the same date.

    Args:
        time_start: the time to use as a starting point
        time_end: the time to use as an end point

    Returns:
        the difference between time_start and time_end. For example:

        >>> time_difference(1500, 1600)

        ValueError: if time_start and time_end is below 0 or above 2400
