(b) Consider a simple program to classify a 10
triangle. Its input consists of 3 positive
integers (say x, y and z) and the data types
for input parameters ensures that these will
be integers greater than zero and less than
or equal to 100. The three values are
interpreted as representing the lengths of
the sides of a triangle. The program then
prints a message to the standard output that
states whether the triangle is a scalene,
isosceles, equilateral or right - angled.
For the above problem, derive the basic
possible boundary conditions and some test
cases respectively.
