Why won't the last condition If a triangle with the specified sides cannot exist, you need to display: "The triangle is not possible." pass successfully.

Question about the task

Under discussion

My code is below. it is giving me the correct answer and complies without error, but the system is saying the last condition is not met. Help! package com.codegym.task.task04.task0415; /* Rule of the triangle */ import java.io.*; public class Solution { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader (System.in)); String num1 = br.readLine(); String num2 = br.readLine(); String num3 = br.readLine(); int a = Integer.parseInt(num1); int b = Integer.parseInt(num2); int c = Integer.parseInt(num3); int math1 = a+b; int math2 = a+c; int math3 = b+c; if (math1>c) System.out.println("The triangle is possible."); else if (math2>b) System.out.println("The triangle is possible."); else if (math3>a) System.out.println("The triangle is possible."); else if (math1<c && math2

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 { BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader (System.in)); String num1 = br.readLine(); String num2 = br.readLine(); String num3 = br.readLine(); int a = Integer.parseInt(num1); int b = Integer.parseInt(num2); int c = Integer.parseInt(num3); int math1 = a+b; int math2 = a+c; int math3 = b+c; if (math1>c) System.out.println("The triangle is possible."); else if (math2>b) System.out.println("The triangle is possible."); else if (math3>a) System.out.println("The triangle is possible."); else if (math1<c && math2<b && math3<a) System.out.println("The triangle is not possible.");//write your code here } }

Good advices from Gellert Varga. In line 28 (if needed) I recommend "<=".

Maybe the line 28 condition is the problem. Maybe the program doesn't even need this:) But if you feel you need this condition, i think try to change the 'AND' operators to 'OR'. (All 3 conditions ((1.)and(2.)and(3.)) cannot be met simultaneously.)
