🐍 Program 136: Validate Pythagorean Triplet

📌 Description

Create a function that validates whether three given integers form a Pythagorean triplet.
The sum of the squares of the two smallest integers must equal the square of the largest number to be validated.

💡 Code Example

def is_triplet(a, b, c):
    # Sort the numbers to ensure that the largest is last
    x, y, z = sorted([a, b, c])
    return x**2 + y**2 == z**2

# Examples
print(is_triplet(3, 4, 5))  # ➞ True
# 3² + 4² = 25
# 5² = 25

print(is_triplet(13, 5, 12))  # ➞ True
# 5² + 12² = 169
# 13² = 169

print(is_triplet(1, 2, 3))  # ➞ False
# 1² + 2² = 5
# 3² = 9

✅ Output

True
True
False

🧠 Explanation

• The function sorts the three integers so that the largest number is treated as the hypotenuse (the longest side of a right triangle).
• It then checks if the sum of the squares of the two smaller numbers equals the square of the largest number.
