What have you tried so far? Have you got any idea on an algorithm for how to do it?

You seem to have changed your post. It now says nothing about triangles. Do you still want help with that? I don't know what you're asking with 'best practice for algorithms'. Just in case you're unsure, an algorithm is just a method or a list of operations to get your result or your solution. For example, if you were tasked with finding a list of prime numbers under 20, you might individually test all those numbers for primality, you might perform a Sieve of Eratostenes, you might find another way to do it. Each way is a different algorithm with differing methods/operations to get what you want. When I asked you about an idea for an algorithm to find whether a given three numbers create an equilateral, isosceles or scalene triangle (or whether a triangle is even possible), I was asking whether you had any ideas how you would do these things (in a maths language). Once you have the algorithm sorted, I can start to help you with your coding of it.
