A question regarding the 50-move rule

If, after a player has made a move that checkmates his opponent, 50 moves have passed without captures or pawn moves, is it a win or a draw?
If, after a player has made a move that stalemates his opponent, 50 moves have passed without captures or pawn moves, is it a win or a draw?
If, after a player has made a move that causes a chess position to be repeated for the third time, 50 moves have passed without captures or pawn moves, is it be a draw by threefold repetition or a draw by the 50-move rule?

Checkmate is a "win", stalemate is a draw, threefold repetition

Checkmate ends the game and takes precedence.

What about the other two cases?

Stalemate and the 50-move rule are both drawing conditions, so there is no "win."

If you asked a robot the third question, it would probably explode.

Sorry, for the second question, I meant: is it a stalemate or a draw by the 50-move rule?

If you asked a different robot that question as well, it would probably explode too. 💀

First situation is a win by checkmate; the second is a draw by stalemate, and the third is a draw by 3-fold-repetition. The 50-move draw rule happens if the game is not completed AFTER that 50th move completes (if that makes sense).

Checkmate, stalemate, or three-fold repetition are all ways which end the game, so they get priority. If the game wouldn't end by a reason, then the 50-move rule draw applies.
