Actually, A and B are the same mathematically, not B and C. If I leave the dash out, how is the user supposed to tell the program the 12 5 means A & B, or A & C, or B & C?

Oh, about the first point (not needing to know what the hypotenuse of a triangle is). I'm 13 years old, and I'm in a national math competition called Mathcount. This year our team got to states, coming first at regionals. I eat sleep and breathe math. Read more on my team and mathcounts here (an entry in my blog).
