C Exercises: Check whether a triangle is Equilateral, Isosceles or Scalene
C Conditional Statement: Exercise-14 with Solution
Write a C program to check whether a triangle is Equilateral, Isosceles or Scalene.
Equilateral triangle: An equilateral triangle is a triangle in which all three sides are equal. In the familiar Euclidean geometry, equilateral triangles are also equiangular; that is, all three internal angles are also congruent to each other and are each 60°.
Isosceles triangle: An isosceles triangle is a triangle that has two sides of equal length.
Scalene triangle: A scalene triangle is a triangle that has three unequal sides, such as those illustrated above.

Sample Solution:
C Code:
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int sidea, sideb, sidec; //are three sides of a triangle
/*
* Reads all sides of a triangle
*/
printf("Input three sides of triangle: ");
scanf("%d %d %d", &sidea, &sideb, &sidec);
if(sidea==sideb && sideb==sidec) //check whether all sides are equal
{
printf("This is an equilateral triangle.\n");
}
else if(sidea==sideb || sidea==sidec || sideb==sidec) //check whether two sides are equal
{
printf("This is an isosceles triangle.\n");
}
else //check whether no sides are equal
{
printf("This is a scalene triangle.\n");
}
return 0;
}
Sample Output:
Input three sides of triangle: 50 50 60 This is an isosceles triangle.

C Programming: Tips of the Day
Static variable inside of a function in C
The scope of variable is where the variable name can be seen. Here, x is visible only inside function foo().
The lifetime of a variable is the period over which it exists. If x were defined without the keyword static, the lifetime would be from the entry into foo() to the return from foo(); so it would be re-initialized to 5 on every call.
The keyword static acts to extend the lifetime of a variable to the lifetime of the programme; e.g. initialization occurs once and once only and then the variable retains its value - whatever it has come to be - over all future calls to foo().
