Write a program to calculate the area of a triangle using function (if wrong set of values is entered, error message should be displayed accordingly).


 /*program to read three numbers from the key board and print the area of triangle by using function*/
#include<math.h>
float triangle(float,float,float,float,float);
void main()
{
float s,a,b,c,ar;
clrscr();
printf("Enter three values for triangle ");
scanf("%f%f%f",&a,&b,&c);
triangle(a,b,c,s,ar);
//if(r==0)
getch();
}
float triangle(float a,float b,float c,float s,float ar)
{
if(c>a&&c>b&&a+b>c||b>a&&b>c&&a+c>b||a>b&&a>c&&b+c>a)
{
s=((a+b+c)/2);
ar=sqrt(s*(s-a)*(s-b)*(s-c));
printf("\nThe area of triangle is %f",ar);
}
else
printf("\nSORRY try again, triangle of this measurement doesn’t exist ");
return 0;
}
Output
Enter three values for triangle 3 4 5

The area of triangle is 6.000000
Or
Enter three values for triangle 2 5 8

SORRY try again, triangle of this measurement doesn’t exist
