Pythagorean Triples

/******************************************************

** Name: 

** Filename: ptriples.cpp

** Project #: Deitel & Deitel 2.55

** Project Description: Find all Pythagorean triples for side1,
   side2 and hypotenuse in which all sides are no larger than 
   500. Use a triple nested for loop that tries all possibilites.

** Output: All Pythagorean triples for side1,
   side2 and hypotenuse in which all sides are no larger than 
   500.

** Input: None

** Algorithm: Instruct user of process to be performed.
    If 500 or less then calculate using formula a^2 + b^2 = c^2 
   by running 3 loops to find all posible combinations
   When combination equals a^2 + b^2 = c^2 then print out results,
   and add up the number of solutions and print out solutions at 
   the end.
   End program
