Any idea whats wrong?

Question about the task

Under discussion

Seems right to me.

Use the keyboard to enter three numbers a, b, and c (the lengths of the sides of the proposed triangle).
Determine whether a triangle with these sides can exist.
Display the result as follows:
"The triangle is possible." - if a triangle with these sides could exist.
"The triangle is not possible." - if a triangle with these sides cannot exist.

Hint:
A triangle can exist only if the sum of two of its sides is greater than the third side.
You need to compare each side with the sum of the other two.
If even one side is larger or equal to the sum of the other two sides, then no such triangle exists.

Requirements:

The program should read three numbers from the keyboard.
The program should display text on the screen according to the task conditions.
If a triangle with the specified sides could exist, you need to display: "The triangle is possible."
If a triangle with the specified sides cannot exist, you need to display: "The triangle is not possible."

package com.codegym.task.task04.task0415; /* Rule of the triangle */ import java.io.*; import java.util.Scanner; public class Solution { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { //write your code here Scanner eingabe = new Scanner(System.in); int a = eingabe.nextInt(); int b = eingabe.nextInt(); int c = eingabe.nextInt(); if ((a + b) < c && (a + c) < b && (b + c) < a){ System.out.println("The triangle is not possible."); } else{ System.out.println("The triangle is possible."); } } }

Line 21, you need to modify "&&" to "||";

in line 21 you've written that if all combinations of adding two of the sides is less than the third then the triangle is not possible. However, it's impossible that if you have 3 numbers that the sum of any two of them will always be less than the third. Instead of writing and in the condition try or.

I think that in addition to writing "or" in the condition you also have to add the equal operator (a + b <= c) because if a+b = c it also cannot be a triangle.
