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]]).
It defines a <code>Triple</code> class which is comparable so it can be placed in a <code>
Note: this implementation also keeps all triples in memory. Be mindful of large perimeter limits.
