Imports System

Public Class AClass
    Public Shared Function getMinimumTripletProduct(ByVal arr As Integer()) As Integer
        Dim size As Integer = arr.Length

        If size <= 2 Then
            Return Integer.MaxValue
        End If

        Array.Sort(arr)
		
        Return Math.Min(arr(size - 1) * arr(size - 2) * arr(0), arr(0) * arr(1) * arr(2))
    End Function

    Public Shared Sub Main(ByVal args As String())
        Dim arr As Integer() = New Integer() {3, 5, 8, 17, 4, 9, 7, 39, 2}
		
        Dim min As Integer = getMinimumTripletProduct(arr)

        If min = Integer.MaxValue Then
            Console.Write("Array has less than 3 elements")
        Else
            Console.Write("The minimum product = " & min)
        End If
    End Sub
End Class





' run:
'
' The minimum product = 24
'
