To creator of this group,
Please check the test case 3 in the Problem of calculating side length from area of triangle. One ';' is missing which is not allowing the case to pass for correct solution.
This problem really highlights problems with the Cody scoring system. The score using a double for loop to brute force the lengths beats out a single for loop using equations. I tested my code in Matlab vs double loops and it's faster than most double loops I tested by several orders of magnitude for larger numbers (p>1000). There is also some sort of caching going on where my code gets orders of magnitude faster again if ran a few times vs most double for loops.
There is one exception with a double loop that is really fast by Hung Hoang. They use the for loops in a way that doesn't make it O^2.
interesting problem
