# --description--
|
|
|
|
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` ≤ `n`, is the number of solutions maximized?
|
|
|
|
# --hints--
|
|
|
|
`intRightTriangles(500)` should return a number.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(typeof intRightTriangles(500) === 'number');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`intRightTriangles(500)` should return 420.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(intRightTriangles(500) == 420);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`intRightTriangles(800)` should return 720.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(intRightTriangles(800) == 720);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`intRightTriangles(900)` should return 840.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(intRightTriangles(900) == 840);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`intRightTriangles(1000)` should return 840.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(intRightTriangles(1000) == 840);
|
|
```
