Maximum Score From Removing Stones

You are playing a solitaire game with three piles of stones of sizes a​​​​​​, b,​​​​​​ and c​​​​​​ respectively. Each turn you choose two different non-empty piles, take one stone from each, and add 1 point to your score. The game stops when there are fewer than two non-empty piles (meaning there are no more available moves).

Given three integers a​​​​​, b,​​​​​ and c​​​​​, return the maximum score you can get.

func max(x, y int) int {
    if x > y {
        return x
    }
    return y
}

func min(x, y int) int {
    if x < y {
        return x
    }
    return y
}

func maximumScore(a int, b int, c int) int {
    // can also use priority queue
    sum := a + b + c
    mx := max(a, max(b, c))
    return min(sum - mx, sum / 2)
}
