Given two numbers, first calculate arithmetic mean and geometric mean of these two numbers. Using the arithmetic mean and geometric mean so calculated, find the harmonic mean between the two numbers.

Examples: 

Input : a = 2
        b = 4
Output : 2.666

Input : a = 5
        b = 15
Output : 7.500

Arithmetic Mean: Arithmetic Mean ‘AM’ between two numbers a and b is such a number that AM-a = b-AM. Thus, if we are given these two numbers, the arithmetic mean AM = 1/2(a+b)
Geometric Mean: Geometric Mean ‘GM’ between two numbers a and b is such a number that GM/a = b/GM. Thus, if we are given these two numbers, the geometric mean GM = sqrt(a*b)
Harmonic Mean: Harmonic Mean ‘HM’ between two numbers a and b is such a number that 1/HM – 1/a = 1/b – 1/HM. Thus, if we are given these two numbers, the harmonic mean HM = 2ab/a+b
Now, we also know that GM^2 = AM * HM

// arithmetic mean, geometric mean

double compute(int a, int b)
{
  
    double AM, GM, HM;
  
    AM = (a + b) / 2;
    GM = sqrt(a * b);
    HM = (GM * GM) / AM;
    return HM;
}

{
  
    int a = 5, b = 15;
    double HM = compute(a, b);
    cout << "Harmonic Mean between " << a 
          << " and " << b << " is " << HM ;
    return 0;

}

Javascript

<script>
   
// Javascript implementation of computation 
// of arithmetic mean, geometric mean
// and harmonic mean
   
// Function to calculate arithmetic 
// mean, geometric mean and harmonic mean
function compute(a, b)
{
    var AM = (a + b) / 2;
    var GM = Math.sqrt(a * b);
    var HM = (GM * GM) / AM;
      
    return HM;
}
  
// Driver Code
var a = 5;
var b = 15;
var HM = compute(a, b)
  
document.write("Harmonic Mean between "
               a + " and " +  b  + " is " +
               HM.toFixed(3));
                 
// This code is contributed by bunnyram19 
  
</script>

                    

Output: 

Harmonic Mean between 5 and 15 is 7.500

Time Complexity: O(log(a*b)), for using sqrt function where a and b represents the given integers. 
Auxiliary Space: O(1), no extra space is required, so it is a constant.
