Find Pythagorean triplet for which a + b + c = 1000
- by Rahul
A Pythagorean triplet is a set of three natural numbers, a < b < c, for which,
a^(2) + b^(2) = c^(2)
For example, 3^(2) + 4^(2) = 9 + 16 = 25 = 5^(2).
There exists exactly one Pythagorean triplet for which a + b + c = 1000.
Find the product abc.

I tried but didn't know where my code went wrong. Here's my code in C:
#include <stdio.h>
void main()
{
int a, b, c;
for (a = 0; a<=1000; a++)
{
for (b = 0; b<=1000; b++)
{
for (c = 0; c<=1000; c++)
{
if (((a^(2) + b^(2) == c^(2)) && ((a+b+c) ==1000)))
printf("a=%d, b=%d, c=%d",a,b,c);
}
}
}
return 0;
}
