611. Valid Triangle Number

https://leetcode.com/problems/valid-triangle-number/

Given an array consists of non-negative integers, your task is to count the number of triplets chosen from the array that can make triangles if we take them as side lengths of a triangle.

Example 1:

Input: [2,2,3,4]
Output: 3
Explanation:
Valid combinations are: 
2,3,4 (using the first 2)
2,3,4 (using the second 2)
2,2,3

Note:

  1. The length of the given array won't exceed 1000.
  2. The integers in the given array are in the range of [0, 1000].
class Solution {
public int triangleNumber(int[] nums) {
Arrays.sort(nums);
int ans = 0;
for (int i = nums.length - 1; i > 1; i--) {
int l = 0, r = i - 1;
while (l < r) {
if (nums[l] + nums[r] > nums[i]) {
// If l + r > then sum of all numbers between l, r > i
ans += r - l;
r--;
} else {
// sum is smaller, try the next higher number
l++;
}
}
}
return ans;
}
}
