NOTATRI - Not a Triangle
You have N (3 ≤ N ≤ 2,000) wooden sticks, which are labeled from 1 to N. The i-th stick has a length of Li (1 ≤ Li ≤ 1,000,000). Your friend has challenged you to a simple game: you will pick three sticks at random, and if your friend can form a triangle with them (degenerate triangles included), he wins; otherwise, you win. You are not sure if your friend is trying to trick you, so you would like to determine your chances of winning by computing the number of ways you could choose three sticks (regardless of order) such that it is impossible to form a triangle with them.
Input
The input file consists of multiple test cases. Each test case starts with the single integer N, followed by a line with the integers L1, ..., LN. The input is terminated with N = 0, which should not be processed.
Output
For each test case, output a single line containing the number of triples.
Example
Input: 3 4 2 10 3 1 2 3 4 5 2 9 6 0 Output: 1 0 2
For the first test case, 4 + 2 < 10, so you will win with the one available triple. For the second case, 1 + 2 is equal to 3; since degenerate triangles are allowed, the answer is 0.

use two pointers can solve it in O(n * n) |

is there any better approach to solve it in less than n*n*logn complexity |

Code accepting in java with O(n*n*logn) time complexity but I not used Scanner class for input |

Python solution gets TLE, the same solution on Codechef got AC.

finally AC in 0.13 s ..simply sorted & used upper bound ...NOTE::- put endl after the answer !!. |

If the sum of two sides is equal to the third side then also it doesn't form a triangle. But in this question it assumes the contrary. |

o(n*n*logn) works within tl |

distinct indexes matter not the the lengths.
