Type of Triangle | HackerRank

Write a query identifying the type of each record in the TRIANGLES table using its three side lengths. Output one of the following statements for each record in the table:

• Equilateral: It's a triangle with  sides of equal length.
• Isosceles: It's a triangle with  sides of equal length.
• Scalene: It's a triangle with  sides of differing lengths.
• Not A Triangle: The given values of A, B, and C don't form a triangle.

 

SELECT CASE
    WHEN A + B > C AND A + C > B AND B + C > A THEN CASE
        WHEN A = B AND B = C THEN 'Equilateral'
        WHEN A = B OR A = C OR B = C THEN 'Isosceles'
        ELSE 'Scalene'
        END
    ELSE 'Not A Triangle'
    END
