| # --description--
 | |
| 
 | |
| [Hero's formula](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heron's formula "wp: Heron's formula") for the area of a triangle given the length of its three sides `a`, `b`, and `c` is given by:
 | |
| 
 | |
| $A = \\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)},$
 | |
| 
 | |
| where `s` is half the perimeter of the triangle; that is,
 | |
| 
 | |
| $s=\\frac{a+b+c}{2}.$
 | |
| 
 | |
| Heronian triangles are triangles whose sides and area are all integers.
 | |
| 
 | |
| An example is the triangle with sides `3, 4, 5` whose area is `6` (and whose perimeter is `12`).
 | |
| 
 | |
| Note that any triangle whose sides are all an integer multiple of `3, 4, 5`; such as `6, 8, 10,` will also be a Heronian triangle.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Define a Primitive Heronian triangle as a Heronian triangle where the greatest common divisor
 | |
| 
 | |
| of all three sides is `1` (unity).
 | |
| 
 | |
| This will exclude, for example, triangle `6, 8, 10.`
 | |
| 
 | |
| # --instructions--
 | |
| 
 | |
| Implement a function based on Hero's formula that returns the first <code>n<sub>th</sub></code> ordered triangles in an array of arrays.
 | |
| 
 | |
| # --hints--
 | |
| 
 | |
| `heronianTriangle` should be a function.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```js
 | |
| assert(typeof heronianTriangle === 'function');
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| `heronianTriangle(10)` should return `[[3, 4, 5], [5, 5, 6], [5, 5, 8], [4, 13, 15], [5, 12, 13], [9, 10, 17], [3, 25, 26], [7, 15, 20], [10, 13, 13], [8, 15, 17]]`
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```js
 | |
| assert.deepEqual(heronianTriangle(testCases[0]), res[0]);
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| `heronianTriangle(15)` should return `[[3, 4, 5], [5, 5, 6], [5, 5, 8], [4, 13, 15], [5, 12, 13], [9, 10, 17], [3, 25, 26], [7, 15, 20], [10, 13, 13], [8, 15, 17], [13, 13, 24], [6, 25, 29], [11, 13, 20], [5, 29, 30], [13, 14, 15]],`
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```js
 | |
| assert.deepEqual(heronianTriangle(testCases[1]), res[1]);
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| `heronianTriangle(20)` should return `[[3, 4, 5], [5, 5, 6], [5, 5, 8], [4, 13, 15], [5, 12, 13], [9, 10, 17], [3, 25, 26], [7, 15, 20], [10, 13, 13], [8, 15, 17], [13, 13, 24], [6, 25, 29], [11, 13, 20], [5, 29, 30], [13, 14, 15], [10, 17, 21], [7, 24, 25], [8, 29, 35], [12, 17, 25], [4, 51, 53]],`
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```js
 | |
| assert.deepEqual(heronianTriangle(testCases[2]), res[2]);
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| `heronianTriangle(25)` should return `[[3, 4, 5], [5, 5, 6], [5, 5, 8], [4, 13, 15], [5, 12, 13], [9, 10, 17], [3, 25, 26], [7, 15, 20], [10, 13, 13], [8, 15, 17], [13, 13, 24], [6, 25, 29], [11, 13, 20], [5, 29, 30], [13, 14, 15], [10, 17, 21], [7, 24, 25], [8, 29, 35], [12, 17, 25], [4, 51, 53], [19, 20, 37],[16, 17, 17], [17, 17, 30], [16, 25, 39], [13, 20, 21]]`
