You are given an array of n integers (a1, a2,....,an), you need to find if the array contains a pythagorean triplet or not.

An array is said to have a pythagorean triplet if there exists three integers x,y and z in the array such that x^2 + y^2 = z^2.

Note
1. The integers x,y and z might not be distinct , but they should be present at different locations in the array i.e if a[i] = x, a[j] = y and a[k] = z, then i,j and k should be pairwise distinct.
2. The integers a,b and c can be present in any order in the given array.
