This is not well worded. I take 'small sides' (plural) to mean the two 
smaller, non-hypotenuse sides (which are necessarily shorter than the 
hypotenuse). So the possible pairs of values i,j, where i is the shorter 
of the two, have

Again, not well worded; I believe this is meant to be n==200, except 
that the program should take n as a parameter and then give it value 
200, so that the could work if n were given some other value.

So the possible pairs of values i,j, where i is the shorter of the two, 
have j <= n (==200) and i <= j.
