I dont know why my my test cases are coming out to be wrong. I have used an alternative approach. It took me 4 hours to think it out it would be helpful if someone could have a look https://ide.codingblocks.com/s/138936

Hello @d_codr,

Your approach is correct.
But, it is not satisfying the constraints of the question:

  1. N can be any number upto 10^9.
    So, the value of b and c will be larger than int.
    Solution:
    Make a, b and c of type long long.

  2. After satisfying above, it will cause TLE for larger value of n.
    Solution:
    Reduce number of iterations.
    For this, follow the approach explained in the video: Pythagorean Triplet Hint

Hope, this would help.
Give a like, if you are satisfied.
