Ruby Koan 151 raising exceptions

Question

I\'m going through the ruby koans, I\'m on 151 and I just hit a brick wall.

Here is the koan:

# You need to write the triangle method in the file \'trian         


        

Answer 1

Here is my elegant answer, with a lot of help from the comments above

def triangle(a, b, c)

   test_tri = [a,b,c]

   if test_tri.min <=0
     raise TriangleError
   end

   test_tri.sort!

   if test_tri[0]+ test_tri[1] <= test_tri[2]
     raise TriangleError
   end

   if a == b and b == c
     :equilateral
   elsif a != b and b != c and a != c 
     :scalene   
   else
     :isosceles     
   end
end
