How to find pythagorean triplet for which a + b + c = 1000 in Swift

1 Answer

import Foundation

// Define the total sum of the Pythagorean triplet (a + b + c = 1000)
let sum = 1000

// Loop through possible values for 'a'
// We only check up to sum/3 because 'a' must be the smallest in the triplet
for a in 1...(sum / 3) {

    // Loop through possible values for 'b', starting just above 'a'
    // It goes only up to sum/2 to avoid redundancy and ensure 'b < c'
    for b in (a + 1)...(sum / 2) {

        // Calculate 'c' as the remaining value so that a + b + c = sum
        let c = sum - a - b

        // Check if the triplet (a, b, c) satisfies the Pythagorean condition
        // That is, a² + b² must equal c²
        if a * a + b * b == c * c {
            print("(\(a)^2 = \(a * a)) + (\(b)^2 = \(b * b)) = \(c)^2 = \(c * c)")
            print("a = \(a), b = \(b), c = \(c)")
            print("\(a + b + c) = \(a) + \(b) + \(c)")
        }
    }
}



/*
run:

(200^2 = 40000) + (375^2 = 140625) = 425^2 = 180625
a = 200, b = 375, c = 425
1000 = 200 + 375 + 425

*/
