Need Help!

[jkretzer]

I am a new programmer and this is a pretty difficult code for me as I dont have any resources. I need to write a program that reads three edges of a traingle and determines wether the input is valid. It is valid if the sum of any two edges is greater than the 3rd edge. Can someone kinda help me out, I dont know where to even get started. Some sample runs I found look like this

Enter three edges: 1 2.5 1
Can edges 1, 2.5 and 1 form a triangle? false

Enter three edges: 2.5 2 1
Can edges 2.5, 2, and 1 form a triangle? true

Thanks for any help!

I would start by having the user enter 3 edges, then seeing if any 2 combined are longer then the third, then outputing either true or false based on that.

I'm just not sure how to write that in code? seeing if any 2 combined are longer than the 3rd is really throwing me off

Would it be possible for someone to throw me a code together please? Thanks in advance!

OK then... I regret bothering to reply earlier.
This isn't a homework service.

Well, can you add two numbers together at all? Surely you know how to do that...
