Compare the Triplet | HackerRank | Solution in C

-
  Compare the Triplet Alice and Bob each created one problem for HackerRank. A reviewer rates the two challenges, awarding points on a scale from  1  to  100  for three categories:  problem clarity ,  originality , and  difficulty . The rating for Alice's challenge is the triplet  a = (a[0], a[1], a[2]) , and the rating for Bob's challenge is the triplet  b = (b[0], b[1], b[2]) . The task is to find their  comparison points  by comparing  a[0]  with  b[0] ,  a[1]  with  b[1] , and  a[2]  with  b[2] . If  a[i] > b[i] , then Alice is awarded  1  point. If  a[i] < b[i] , then Bob is awarded  1  point. If  a[i] = b[i] , then neither person receives a point. Comparison points is the total points a person earned. Given  a  and  b , determine their respective comparison points. Example a = [1, 2, 3] b = [3, 2, 1] For elements *0*, Bob ...
