1 Answer

# Triangle = the sum of any two values (sides) > than the third value (third side)
 
# A + B > C
# B + C > A
# C + A > B

def CountTriangles(lst) :
    size = len(lst)
    count = 0
    i = 0
    while (i < size) :
        j = i + 1
        while (j < size) :
            k = j + 1
            while (k < size) :
                if (lst[i] + lst[j] > lst[k] and lst[i] + lst[k] > lst[j] and lst[k] + lst[j] > lst[i]) :
                    count += 1
                    print(str(lst[i]) + " + " + str(lst[j]) + " > " + str(lst[k]) + " | ", end ="")
                    print(str(lst[i]) + " + " + str(lst[k]) + " > " + str(lst[j]) + " | ", end ="")
                    print(str(lst[k]) + " + " + str(lst[j]) + " > " + str(lst[i]))
                k += 1
            j += 1
        i += 1
    return count

lst = [120, 80, 13, 16, 9, 14, 19]

total_triangles = CountTriangles(lst)

print("Total triangles : " + str(total_triangles))
