I am trying to express a condition of a problem: "among three non-zero integers, if any one integer is greater than or equal to the sum of the the other two integers" as if condition:
which is giving the wrong output and the correct condition expression is:Code:if ( (a || b ||c) >= (a+b || b+c || c+a) )
Can anybody please explain the problem with the first condition.Code:if (a >= b+c || b>=c+a || c>=a+b )
&& and || evaluate to either 1 or 0 (they're booleans)
So the result of a||b||c is either 1 or 0.
So what you have is for this
> if ( (a || b ||c) >= (a+b || b+c || c+a) )
is
if ( (something_evaluating_to_1or0) >= (something_evaluating_to_1or0) )
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
