# Triangle
|
||
|
|
||
|
Determine if a triangle is equilateral, isosceles, or scalene.
|
||
|
|
||
|
An _equilateral_ triangle has all three sides the same length.<br/>
|
||
|
An _isosceles_ triangle has at least two sides the same length. (It is sometimes
|
||
|
specified as having exactly two sides the same length, but for the purposes of
|
||
|
this exercise we'll say at least two.)<br/>
|
||
|
A _scalene_ triangle has all sides of different lengths.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Note
|
||
|
|
||
|
For a shape to be a triangle at all, all sides have to be of length > 0, and
|
||
|
the sum of the lengths of any two sides must be greater than or equal to the
|
||
|
length of the third side. See [Triangle Inequality](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangle_inequality).
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Dig Deeper
|
||
|
|
||
|
The case where the sum of the lengths of two sides _equals_ that of the
|
||
|
third is known as a _degenerate_ triangle - it has zero area and looks like
|
||
|
a single line. Feel free to add your own code/tests to check for degenerate triangles.

## Elm Installation
|
||
|
|
||
|
Refer to the [Exercism help page](http://exercism.io/languages/elm) for Elm
|
||
|
installation and learning resources.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Writing the Code
|
||
|
|
||
|
The first time you start an exercise, you'll need to ensure you have the
|
||
|
appropriate dependencies installed.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```bash
|
||
|
$ npm install
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Execute the tests with:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```bash
|
||
|
$ npm test
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Automatically run tests again when you save changes:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```bash
|
||
|
$ npm run watch
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
As you work your way through the test suite, be sure to remove the `skip <|`
|
||
|
calls from each test until you get them all passing!
