Write a program that displays the resistance equivalent to three resistors R1, R2, R3 (double type),
- if the resistors are connected in series: $$R_{ser} = R1+R2+R3$$
- if the resistors are connected in parallel: $$R_{par} =\frac{R1*R2*R3}{R1*R2+R1*R3+R2*R3}$$

This exercise is mostly suitable for students
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
double R1, R2, R3;
printf("Please enter the values of 3 resistors: ");
scanf("%lf %lf %lf", &R1, &R2, &R3);
printf("Equivalent resistance in series = %lf\n" , R1 + R2 + R3);
printf("Equivalent resistance in parallel = %lf\n" , (R1 * R2 * R3) / (R1*R2 + R1*R3 + R2*R3));
return 0;
