#3024 - Type of Triangle
Problem Description
You are given a 0-indexed integer array nums of size 3 which can form the sides of a triangle.
- A triangle is called equilateral if it has all sides of equal length.
- A triangle is called isosceles if it has exactly two sides of equal length.
- A triangle is called scalene if all its sides are of different lengths.
Return a string representing the type of triangle that can be formed or "none" if it cannot form a triangle.
Solution
/**
* @param {number[]} nums
* @return {string}
*/
var triangleType = function(nums) {
const [sideA, sideB, sideC] = nums.sort((a, b) => a - b);
if (sideA + sideB <= sideC) return 'none';
if (sideA === sideB && sideB === sideC) return 'equilateral';
if (sideA === sideB || sideB === sideC) return 'isosceles';
return 'scalene';
};
