Project Euler > Problem 9 > Special Pythagorean triplet (Java Solution)

Problem:

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.


Solution:

31875000


Code:
The solution may include methods that will be found here: Library.java .

public interface EulerSolution{

public String run();

}

public final class p009 implements EulerSolution {
 
 public static void main(String[] args) {

 }
 
 
 public String run() {
  for (int a = 1; a < 1000; a++) {
   for (int b = a + 1; b < 1000; b++) {
    int c = 1000 - a - b;
    if (a * a + b * b == c * c)  // Note: This implies b < c
     return Integer.toString(a * b * c);
   }
  }
  throw new AssertionError("Not found");
