Rather than min(cell2mat(varargin))>0 , won't it be more generic to check (a+b > c) [triangle's property]

Test 1 is problematic. It does not accept the answer like 2.4000, 2.400, or 2.40. It expects exactly 2.4 which is the same. There is something wrong about test 1 format or something. Please update test 1.
