Pythagorean triplet

[SameerThigale]

NEED C PROGRAM FOR THE FOLL QUESTION:

A Pythagorean triplet is a set of three natural numbers, a < b < c, for which,
a2 + b2 = c2

For example, 32 + 42 = 9 + 16 = 25 = 52.

There exists exactly one Pythagorean triplet for which a + b + c = 1000.
Find the product abc.

We don't do other people's homeworks. If you have a specific question, ask away, but don't ask for the whole thing.

Some teacher assigned a problem like this one? It's more maths than C I think.

If you want my advice replace c by the value the other variables produce (((int)(sqrt(a*a+b*b)+0.5)) and run a double loop for the other variables (a,b) until your condition is met (a+b+c=1000).

In other words compare a+b+ (int)(sqrt(a*a+b*b)+0.5) with 1000 until you find the numbers.

Limits for your loops up to 333 is satisfactory I guess (since a+b+c=1000).

This is a problem from the Eulerproject: http://projecteuler.net/

I do some of the challenges on there, they are very good, but the site encourages you not to discuss the problems online and work them out yourself.
