The challenge
Given an array of 3 integers a, b and c, determine if they form a pythagorean triple.
A pythagorean triple is formed when:
c2 = a2 + b2
where c is the largest value of a, b, c.
For example: a = 3, b = 4, c = 5 forms a pythagorean triple, because 52 = 32 + 42
Return Values

a,bandcdo not form a pythagorean triple - For Python: return
TrueorFalse
The solution in Java code
Option 1:
public class PythagoreanTriple {
public int pythagoreanTriple(int[] triple){
return triple[0] * triple[0] + triple[1] * triple[1] == triple[2] * triple[2] ? 1 : 0;
}
}
Option 2:
class PythagoreanTriple {
int pythagoreanTriple(final int[] triple) {
final int a2 = triple[0]*triple[0];
final int b2 = triple[1]*triple[1];
final int c2 = triple[2]*triple[2];
return a2 + b2 == c2 || a2 + c2 == b2 || b2 + c2 == a2 ? 1 : 0;
}
}
Option 3:
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.stream.Stream;
public class PythagoreanTriple {
public int pythagoreanTriple(int[] triple){
Integer[] toIntArray = Arrays.stream(triple).boxed().toArray(Integer[]::new);
Arrays.sort(toIntArray, Collections.reverseOrder());
return Math.pow(toIntArray[0], 2)==(Math.pow(toIntArray[1], 2)+Math.pow(toIntArray[2], 2)) ? 1 : 0;
}
}
