Problem:
If p is the perimeter of a right angle triangle with integral length sides, {a,b,c}, there are exactly three solutions for p = 120.
{20,48,52}, {24,45,51}, {30,40,50}
For which value of p [≤] 1000, is the number of solutions maximised?
Solution:
840
Code:
The solution may include methods that will be found here: Library.java .
public interface EulerSolution{
public String run();
}
