AI Thread Summary
When using if and else commands in C++, it's essential to provide clear error messages for users when conditions are not met. A common approach is to utilize the printf function to display messages, such as "The three given sides do not form a valid triangle." It's important to communicate the nature of the error effectively, helping users understand what went wrong in the program. This practice enhances user experience and debugging efficiency.

Can you elaborate more ? What error message are trying to type ? I think you are already familiar with printf function.
 
You could simply output something like:

"The three given sides do not form a valid triangle."

I'm not certain how you are expected to display output, but I seem to recall using the [m]printf()[/m] function.
 
yeah i realized that all i had to do was output an error statement

Typically, as the coder, you want to indicate the nature of the error to the end-user so that the user has some idea what went wrong. :D
 
Dear Peeps I have posted a few questions about programing on this sectio of the PF forum. I want to ask you veterans how you folks learn program in assembly and about computer architecture for the x86 family. In addition to finish learning C, I am also reading the book From bits to Gates to C and Beyond. In the book, it uses the mini LC3 assembly language. I also have books on assembly programming and computer architecture. The few famous ones i have are Computer Organization and...
I had a Microsoft Technical interview this past Friday, the question I was asked was this : How do you find the middle value for a dataset that is too big to fit in RAM? I was not able to figure this out during the interview, but I have been look in this all weekend and I read something online that said it can be done at O(N) using something called the counting sort histogram algorithm ( I did not learn that in my advanced data structures and algorithms class). I have watched some youtube...
