towAsOne challenge

Hi,

I am working on below challenge
http://codingbat.com/prob/p113261

I tried my code as below

public boolean twoAsOne(int a, int b, int c) {
  if((a+b)==c)
  {
  return true;
  }
  
   else if((b+c)==a)
  {
  return true;
  }
  
   else if((a+c)==b)
  {
  return true;
  }
  else 
  return false;
}

Open in new window

I am getting below result

Expected      Run
twoAsOne(1, 2, 3) → true      true      OK
twoAsOne(3, 1, 2) → true      true      OK
twoAsOne(3, 2, 2) → false      false      OK
twoAsOne(2, 3, 1) → true      true      OK
twoAsOne(5, 3, -2) → true      true      OK
twoAsOne(5, 3, -3) → false      false      OK
twoAsOne(2, 5, 3) → true      true      OK
twoAsOne(9, 5, 5) → false      false      OK
twoAsOne(9, 4, 5) → true      true      OK
twoAsOne(5, 4, 9) → true      true      OK
twoAsOne(3, 3, 0) → true      true      OK
twoAsOne(3, 3, 2) → false      false      OK
other tests
OK

how to improve my approach and design of this challenge. How do i make a

graphical venn or some other relevant diagram to design it before writing single

line of code to decide best strategy?
Please advise

// overkill in this case, but
List<Integer> list = new ArrayList<Integer>();
Collections.addAll(list, a*2,b*2,c*2);
return list.contains(a+b+c);
