1# Take three numbers
2a = int(input("Enter first number: "))
3b = int(input("Enter second number: "))
4c = int(input("Enter third number: "))
5

6# Check all possible arrangements
7if (a*a + b*b == c*c) or (b*b + c*c == a*a) or (c*c + a*a == b*b):
8    print("Pythagorean triplet")
9else:
10    print("Not a Pythagorean triplet")

Output

Enter first number: 3
Enter second number: 4
Enter third number: 5
Pythagorean triplet

Enter first number: 2
Enter second number: 3
Enter third number: 4
Not a Pythagorean triplet

What's going on

Check all three possible arrangements since we don't know which is hypotenuse.

Key Concepts:

Pythagorean theorem: a² + b² = c²
Check all arrangements: a²+b²=c², b²+c²=a², c²+a²=b²
Use OR to check if any arrangement works
