Talk:Law of cosines - triples

Showing the sides in order?

I see the samples show the 60 degree triangles with the sides in ascending order, however ( a, b, c ) = ( 5, 7, 8 ) isn't a solution of a^2 + b^2 - ab = c^2.
Where the task says "Find all integer solutions to the three specific cases, in order;", presumably this should be in order of ascending first (lowest) side?

You are right. Thanks for bringing this up. I fixed my Factor submission. --Chunes (talk) 14:28, 23 September 2018 (UTC)

I changed the wording of that task's requirement   (hopefully, it is more clearer).   In any case, that's what I took it to mean, that the triangles are to be shown in increasing (ascending) order of the first side found.   -- Gerard Schildberger (talk) 06:56, 24 September 2018 (UTC)

How to verify the number of triangles for the   extra credit?

Now that there're several computer programming examples that have different output for the   optional extra credit   requirement,   how does one verify which one is correct?     -- Gerard Schildberger (talk) 11:07, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
