The valence number of an atom is defined as the exact number of bonds the atom must form with other atoms. Given the valence number of 3 atoms, the task is to determine if they can form a molecule together or not. Atoms can form multiple bonds with each other. 

Examples:  

Input: 2 4 2
Output: YES
The bonds are between the following atoms:
1 - 2
1 - 2
2 - 3
2 - 3

Input: 1 2 3
Output: NO 

Approach: Let the valence numbers be a, b and c. Let c be the largest. We have 2 cases in which the molecule cannot be formed:  

  • a+b+c is odd: Since every bond decreases the valence number of 2 atoms by 1, the sum of valence numbers should be an even number.
  • a+b < c: In this case, c will be left unsatisfied even if every bond is formed with it.

Below is the implementation of the above approach: 
 

C++




// C++ implementation of the above approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to check if it is possible
void printPossible(int a, int b, int c)
{
    if ((a + b + c) % 2 != 0 || a + b < c)
        cout << "NO";
    else
        cout << "YES";
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int a = 2, b = 4, c = 2;
    printPossible(a, b, c);
 
  return 0;
}


Java




// Java implementation of the above approach
 
import java.io.*;
 
class GFG {
    // Function to check if it is possible
static void printPossible(int a, int b, int c)
{
    if ((a + b + c) % 2 != 0 || a + b < c)
        System.out.println("NO");
    else
        System.out.println("YES");
}
 
// Driver code
    public static void main (String[] args) {
 
    int a = 2, b = 4, c = 2;
    printPossible(a, b, c);
    }
}

Python3




# Python 3 implementation of the
# above approach
 
# Function to check if it is possible
def printPossible( a, b, c):
 
    if ((a + b + c) % 2 != 0 or a + b < c):
        print ("NO")
    else:
        print ("YES")
 
# Driver code
if __name__ == "__main__":
 
    a = 2
    b = 4
    c = 2
    printPossible(a, b, c)

C#




// C# implementation of the above approach
using System;
 
class GFG
{
 
// Function to check if it is possible
static void printPossible(int a, int b, int c)
{
    if ((a + b + c) % 2 != 0 || a + b < c)
        Console.Write("NO");
    else
        Console.Write("YES");
}
 
// Driver code
public static void Main()
{
    int a = 2, b = 4, c = 2;
    printPossible(a, b, c);
}
}

PHP




<?php
// PHP implementation of the above approach
 
// Function to check if it is possible
function printPossible($a, $b, $c)
{
    if (($a + $b + $c) % 2 != 0 ||
         $a + $b < $c)
        echo ("NO");
    else
        echo ("YES");
}
 
// Driver code
$a = 2;
$b = 4;
$c = 2;
printPossible($a, $b, $c);
 
// This code is contributed
// by Shivi_Aggarwal
?>


Javascript




<script>
    // Javascript implementation of the above approach
     
    // Function to check if it is possible
    function printPossible(a, b, c)
    {
        if ((a + b + c) % 2 != 0 || a + b < c)
            document.write("No");
        else
            document.write("Yes");
    }
     
    let a = 2, b = 4, c = 2;
    printPossible(a, b, c);
     
</script>


Output: 

Yes

Time complexity: O(1)

Auxiliary Space: O(1)
