# --description--
The points ${P}(x_1, y_1)$ and ${Q}(x_2, y_2)$ are plotted at integer co-ordinates and are joined to the origin, ${O}(0, 0)$, to form ${\Delta}OPQ$.
<img class="img-responsive center-block" alt="a graph plotting points P (x_1, y_1) and Q(x_2, y_2) at integer coordinates that are joined to the origin O (0, 0)" src="https://cdn-media-1.freecodecamp.org/project-euler/right-triangles-integer-coordinates-1.png" style="background-color: white; padding: 10px;" />
There are exactly fourteen triangles containing a right angle that can be formed when each co-ordinate lies between 0 and 2 inclusive; that is, $0 ≤ x_1, y_1, x_2, y_2 ≤ 2$.

Given that $0 ≤ x_1, y_1, x_2, y_2 ≤ limit$, how many right triangles can be formed?
# --hints--
`rightTrianglesIntCoords(2)` should return a number.
```js
assert(typeof rightTrianglesIntCoords(2) === 'number');
```
`rightTrianglesIntCoords(2)` should return `14`.
```js
assert.strictEqual(rightTrianglesIntCoords(2), 14);
```
`rightTrianglesIntCoords(10)` should return `448`.
```js
assert.strictEqual(rightTrianglesIntCoords(10), 448);
```
`rightTrianglesIntCoords(25)` should return `3207`.
```js
assert.strictEqual(rightTrianglesIntCoords(25), 3207);
```
`rightTrianglesIntCoords(50)` should return `14234`.
```js
assert.strictEqual(rightTrianglesIntCoords(50), 14234);
```
