# --description--
|
|
|
|
A Pythagorean triplet is a set of three natural numbers, `a` < `b` < `c`, for which,
|
|
|
|
<div style='text-align: center;'><var>a</var><sup>2</sup> + <var>b</var><sup>2</sup> = <var>c</var><sup>2</sup></div>
|
|
|
|
For example, 3<sup>2</sup> + 4<sup>2</sup> = 9 + 16 = 25 = 5<sup>2</sup>.
|
|
|
|
There exists exactly one Pythagorean triplet for which `a` + `b` + `c` = 1000. Find the product `abc` such that `a` + `b` + `c` = `n`.
|

# --hints--
|
|
|
|
`specialPythagoreanTriplet(24)` should return a number.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(typeof specialPythagoreanTriplet(24) === 'number');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`specialPythagoreanTriplet(24)` should return 480.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert.strictEqual(specialPythagoreanTriplet(24), 480);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`specialPythagoreanTriplet(120)` should return 49920, 55080 or 60000
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert([49920, 55080, 60000].includes(specialPythagoreanTriplet(120)));
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`specialPythagoreanTriplet(1000)` should return 31875000.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert.strictEqual(specialPythagoreanTriplet(1000), 31875000);
|
|
```
