/**
 * 611. Valid Triangle Number
 * Given an array consists of non-negative integers,
 * your task is to count the number of triplets chosen
 * from the array that can make triangles if we take them as side lengths of a triangle.

 Example 1:
 Input: [2,2,3,4]
 Output: 3

 Explanation:
 Valid combinations are:
 2,3,4 (using the first 2)
 2,3,4 (using the second 2)
 2,2,3

 Note:
 The length of the given array won't exceed 1000.
 The integers in the given array are in the range of [0, 1000].
