The test suite checks for equality, but different techniques have small numerical differences. The test suite should allow for these differences, as it eliminates many solutions that are correct.

This problem has been updated to check against a small error value rather than for equality.

Good problem

Hi Team,

I am getting error after submitting as,

"We're sorry, but something went wrong. We've been notified about this issue and we'll take a look at it shortly"

But completion bar has been incremented.
Thanks and Have a Good DaY

Would the use of polyarea(x,y) work?
I tried but I'm getting an issue to submit!

I think you need to fix your testing algorithm. I have the right answer but it keeps saying error.

Dyuman Joshi on 22 Feb 2021

@Michael, The testing algorithm is correct. Kindly look into why your code is producing the incorrect result.

d1=sqrt((X(2)-X(1))^2+(Y(2)-Y(1))^2); %distancia de A hasta B
d2=sqrt((X(3)-X(1))^2+(Y(3)-Y(1))^2); %distancia de A hasta C
d3=sqrt((X(3)-X(2))^2+(Y(3)-Y(2))^2); %distancia de B hasta C

s=(d1+d2+d3)/2; %Semiperimetro
y=sqrt(s*(s-d1)*(s-d2)*(s-d3)) %Fórmula de Herón
