This version brute forces primitive triple candidates and then scales them to find the rest (under the perimeter limit of course). Since it only finds the primitives mathematically it can optimize its candidates based on some of the properties [[wp:Pythagorean_triple#Elementary_properties_of_primitive_Pythagorean_triples|here]] -- namely that a and b have opposite evenness, only one of a and b is divisible by 3, only one of a and b is divisible by 4, c is always odd, and that a<sup>2</sup> + b<sup>2</sup> must be a perfect square (which [[wp:Square_number#Properties|don't ever end in 2, 3, 7, or 8]]). After using those rules to eliminate candidates for a,b pairs, it checks that a and b are coprime. Since many a,b pair candidates have already been eliminated, this check actually speeds things up a little bit by letting the program skip some c loops. For a perimeter limit of 1000, it is about 5 times faster than [[Pythagorean triples#Java|the other brute force version]]. For a perimeter limit of 10000, it is about 17 times faster. It also does not markmarks the primitives.
 
It defines a <code>Triple</code> class which is comparable so it can be placed in a <code>TreeSet</code> for easy sorting and to remove duplicates (the GCD check should remove duplicates, but it's nice to make sure). It also can scale itself by an integer factor.
