Use two loops: num_triangles = 0 for i:1 to (N-1)/2 for j:i+1 to i+j<N num_triangles += N-(i+j)
This gives values in increasing order such that c>b>a (c,b,a being lengths of sides of the triangle) and sum of any two sides is greater than the third. Consider : 1,2,3,4,5,6 Possible side combinations are: 1,2,4 1,2,5 1,2,6 1,3,5 1,3,6 1,4,6 2,3,6 On Wednesday, 13 June 2012 22:18:01 UTC+5:30, payel roy wrote: > > > Let's say there are N sides are given.
