""" Project Euler Problem 9: https://projecteuler.net/problem=9 Special Pythagorean triplet A Pythagorean triplet is a set of three natural numbers, a < b < c, for which, a^2 + b^2 = c^2 For example, 3^2 + 4^2 = 9 + 16 = 25 = 5^2. There exists exactly one Pythagorean triplet for which a + b + c = 1000. Find the product a*b*c.
