Compare the Triplets

Function Description

Complete the function compareTriplets in the editor below.

compareTriplets has the following parameter(s):

• int a[3]: Alice's challenge rating
• int b[3]: Bob's challenge rating

Return

• int[2]: Alice's score is in the first position, and Bob's score is in the second.

Input Format

The first line contains 3 space-separated integers, a[0], a[1], and a[2], the respective values in triplet a.
The second line contains 3 space-separated integers, b[0], b[1], and b[2], the respective values in triplet b.

Constraints

• 1 ≤ a[i] ≤ 100
• 1 ≤ b[i] ≤ 100

Sample Input 0

5 6 7

3 6 10

Sample Output 0

1 1

Explanation 0

In this example:

• a = (a[0], a[1], a[2]) = (5, 6, 7)
• b = (b[0], b[1], b[2]) = (3, 6, 10)

Now, let's compare each individual score:

• a[0] > b[0], so Alice receives 1 point.
• a[1] = b[1], so nobody receives a point.
• a[2] < b[2], so Bob receives 1 point.

Alice's comparison score is 1, and Bob's comparison score is 1. Thus, we return the array[1, 1] .

Sample Input 1

17 28 30

99 16 8

Sample Output 1

2 1

Explanation 1

Comparing the 0. elements, 17 < 99 so Bob receives a point.
Comparing the 1. and 2. elements, 28 > 16 and 30 > 8 so Alice receives two points.
The return array is [2, 1].
