Comments

In the form (u^2 - v^2, 2*u*v, u^2 + v^2), u^2 + v^2 is the hypotenuse, max(u^2 - v^2, 2*u*v) is the long leg and min(u^2 - v^2, 2*u*v) is the short leg.

Examples

			The Pythagorean triple (9, 12, 15) does not have the form (u^2 - v^2, 2*u*v, u^2 + v^2), because 15 is not a sum of two nonzero squares. Therefore 12 is a term.
