Recall the formula for Fermi problems: Ask clarifying questions Catalog what you know Make equation(s) Think about edge cases to add to equation **Breakdown components of your"See full answer

Shivam P. - " First, sort the array in ascending order. This ensures that we can easily check the triangle inequality condition. Use a loop to iterate through the array. For each triplet of consecutive elements, check if they satisfy the triangle inequality condition a+b>ca+b>c. As soon as you find a valid tuple, return it. If no valid tuple is found, return null. This approach is efficient with a time complexity of O(nlog⁡n)O(nlogn) due to the sorting step, followed by a linear scan of the array"See full answer
