C++ Please Help ASAP Complete the code below

Problem:

Suppose we want to write a function that gets the side lengths of a triangle from the user

and puts the values entered in variables defined in the calling function.

The program must validate that the lengths entered are valid.

To be valid each length must be a positive value greater than 0

and the sum of any pair of side lengths must be greater than the third

To complete this exercise I want you to rewrite the code given so that it uses a called function that takes one argument, the number of the side you are asking the user to enter, the function will prompt for the side length (display the side number in your prompt), read the side length, let them re-enter if the side length is not greater than zero, and return a valid side length to the calling code using the "return mechanism".

Don't forget the function header of your new function must be preceded by a comment that describes what the function does, the argument it takes, the inputs it receives from the user, and the value it returns.

Several calls to this function will replace much of the code we have in getTriangleSides currently.

Update getTriangleSides to use your function.
