Problem 9: Special Pythagorean triplet

Problem Explanation

  • In this challenge we need to find the pythagorean triple.
  • We have the following information - a < b < c
  • Based on this, we can make a loop starting from a = 0 and b = a since a < b always.
  • We also know that a + b + c = n and a^2 + b^2 = c^2, since we have a, b and n. We can find c and see if it satisfies the triplet theorem.
