can anyone help whats wrong with this code

Question about the task

Rule of the triangle

Java Syntax, Level 4, Lesson 4

Under discussion

Help plz

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.*; public class Solution { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { //write your code here BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in)); int a = Integer.parseInt(br.readLine()); int b = Integer.parseInt(br.readLine()); int c = Integer.parseInt(br.readLine()); if((a+b)>c||(a+c)>b||(b+c)>a) { System.out.println("The triangle is possible."); } else { System.out.println("The triangle is not possible."); } } }

As Mr. Ankush Rajput, replace your "||" condition statements with "&&" so that the program will strictly check whether the sum of any two sides will be greater than the other, for all sides. What happens with your program is that after it checks the first condition, if it's true, then the program will immediately execute the statement under the if.

Read Hint given in question carefully - "If even one side is larger than the sum of the other two sides, then no such triangle exists." Replace OR sign in if block with AND.
