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
