I tried this, which worked when I set the problem up on my own MySQL but failed the code test. Anyone know why?
select
case
when A>=B+C or B>A+C or C>=A+B then 'Not a triangle'
when A=B and B=C then 'Equilateral'
when A=B and B != C then 'Isosceles'
when A!=B and B!=C and A!=C then 'Scalene'
end as Type
from triangles;
Sorry, there was a logical error there, which I found by adding more examples. This now seems to work fine though, but it still doesn't like it:
select
case
when A>=B+C or B>A+C or C>=A+B then 'Not a triangle'
when A=B and B=C then 'Equilateral'
when (A=B and B!=C) or (A=C and C!=B) or (B=C and C!=A) then 'Isosceles'
when A!=B and B!=C and A!=C then 'Scalene'
else 'Balls Up'
end as Type
from triangles;
