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.
