#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>

/*
A Pythagorean triple is a set of three positive integers (a, b, c)
that satisfy the Pythagorean theorem:

        a^2 + b^2 = c^2

These represent the side lengths of a right triangle.
The smallest and most famous Pythagorean triple is (3, 4, 5).
*/

// Function to find the first Pythagorean triple
void findFirstPythagoreanTriple() {
    for (int a = 1; a <= 100; a++) {
        for (int b = a; b <= 100; b++) {
            int c2 = a*a + b*b;   // c^2
            int c = static_cast<int>(sqrt(c2));

            if (c * c == c2) {    // Check if c is an integer
                std::cout << "First Pythagorean triple: "
                     << a << ", " << b << ", " << c << std::endl;
                return;
            }
        }
    }
}

int main() {
    findFirstPythagoreanTriple();
}


/*
run:

First Pythagorean triple: 3, 4, 5

*/
