Generate right triangles c++ -

i trying make program generate 3 sides given following input: longest allowed hypotenuse , number of triangles required. sides can integers. program have written hangs on me , not return output. if downvote me explain why.

#include <iostream> #include <cmath> #include <cstdlib>  int generator(int number, int hypoth){      int a,b,c;      while (number>0){         c=rand()%(hypoth-1)+1;         (a=1;a<hypoth-2;a++){             (b=1;pow(a,2)+pow(b,2)<=pow(c,2); b++){                 if (pow(a,2)+pow(b,2)==pow(c,2)){                     std::cout<<"sides: "<<a<<" "<<b<<" "<<c<<std::endl;                     number--;                 }             }         }     }     return 0; }  int main(){     int triangle_number, hypothenuse;     std::cout << "how many triangles generate? ";     std::cin >> triangle_number;     std::cout << "how long max hypothenuse?";     std::cin >> hypothenuse;     generator(triangle_number, hypothenuse);     return 0; }  

if think should improve algorithm please hint me in right direction. thank time.

the code provided works fine on machine: inputting 1 , 6 gives output sides: 3 4 5.

however, problem arises line: pow(a,2)+pow(b,2)==pow(c,2). pow returns double. comparing floating-point numbers equality slippery, , practically never idea, since it's off tiny amount, , false.

replace a*a + b*b == c*c (and condition within loop above a*a + b*b <= c*c).
