X938: Writing a Method 1

If you are given three sticks, you may or may not be able to arrange them in a triangle.

For any three lengths, there is a simple test to see if it is possible to form a triangle: If any of the three lengths is greater than the sum of the other two, you cannot form a triangle.

For example, if one of the sticks is 12 inches long and the other two are 1 inch long, you will not be able to get the short sticks to meet in the middle.

Write a boolean method named isTriangle that takes three integers as arguments and returns either true or false, depending on whether you can or cannot form a triangle from sticks with the given lengths.
