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

This is what I ended up with. It is sort of a combination of a few of the above examples with my own unique take on the triangle inequality exception (it considers the degenerate case as well). Seems to work.

def triangle(a, b, c)

  raise TriangleError if [a,b,c].min <= 0 
  raise TriangleError if [a,b,c].sort.reverse.reduce(:-) >= 0

  return :equilateral if a == b && b == c
  return :isosceles   if a == b || a == c ||  b == c
  return :scalene 

end
