Short five lemma

In mathematics, especially homological algebra and other applications of Abelian category theory, the short five lemma is a special case of the five lemma. It states that for the following commutative diagram (in any Abelian category), if the rows are exact, and if g and h are isomorphisms, then f is an isomorphism as well.

It follows immediately from the five lemma.
