Task
List comprehensions
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.

A list comprehension is a special syntax in some programming languages to describe lists. It is similar to the way mathematicians describe sets, with a set comprehension, hence the name.

Write a list comprehension that builds the list of all pythagorean triples with elements between 1 and n. If the language has multiple ways for expressing such a construct (for example, direct list comprehensions and generators), write one example for each.

Haskell

pyth n = [(x,y,z) | x <- [1..20], y <- [x..20], z <- [y..20], x^2 + y^2 == z^2]

Python

[(x,y,z) for x in xrange(1,21) for y in xrange(x,21) for z in xrange(y,21) if x**2 + y**2 == z**2]
