Problem Statement:
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 abc.

Return the product of a,b,c which are Pythagorean Triplet that satisfies
the following:
1. a < b < c
2. a**2 + b**2 = c**2
3. a + b + c = 1000
