Question

A right triangle can have sides whose lengths are all integers. The set of three integer values for the lengths of the sides of a right triangle is called a Pythagorean triple.

The lengths of the three sides must satisfy the relationship that the sum of the squares of two of the sides is equal to the square of the hypotenuse. Write an application that displays a table of the Pythagorean triples for side1, side2 and the hypotenuse, all no larger than 100.

Use a triple-nested for loop that tries all possibilities. This method is an example of

Explanation / Answer

This is the c program for your question.

#include<stdio.h>
main()
{
int i,j,k,sq_k;
for (i=1;i<=100;i++)
for (j=i;j<=100;j++)
for(k=j;k<=100;k++)
     {
       sq_k=k*k;
       if(sq_k=i*i+j*j)
         printf("%d %d    %d",i,j,k);   //i,j,k forms the triplet
      }
}
