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

Not that this question needed another answer; however, I think this is the simplest and most readable solution. Thanks to all those before me.

def triangle(a, b, c)
  a, b, c = [a, b, c].sort
  raise TriangleError, "all sides must > 0" unless [a, b, c].min > 0
  raise TriangleError, "2 smaller sides together must the > 3rd side" unless a + b > c
  return :equilateral if a == b && a == c
  return :isosceles if a == b || a == c || b == c
  return :scalene
end

# Error class used in part 2.  No need to change this code.
class TriangleError < StandardError
end
