Why does the answer print out twice?
- by rEgonicS
I made a program that returns the product a*b*c where a,b,c are pythagorean triples and add up to 1000. The program does output the correct answer but does it twice. I was curious as to why this is so.After playing around with it a bit I found out that it prints out when a = 200 b = 375 c = 425. And once again when a = 375 b = 200 c = 425.
*How do you put your code into a "code" block? It does it automatically for part of the code but as you can see the top portion and bottom line is left out.
bool isPythagTriple(int a, int b, int c);
int main()
{
for(int a = 1; a < 1000; a++)
{
for(int b = 1; b < 1000; b++)
{
for(int c = 1; c < 1000; c++)
{
if( ((a+b+c)==1000) && isPythagTriple(a,b,c) )
{
cout << a*b*c << " ";
break;
}
}
}
}
return 0;
}
bool isPythagTriple(int a, int b, int c)
{
if( (a*a)+(b*b)-(c*c) == 0 )
return true;
else
return false;
}
