C Program To Find All Roots of A Quadratic Equation Using Switch Case

This C program uses a switch case statement to determine the nature of the discriminant of a quadratic equation and calculate the corresponding roots. It takes in coefficients a, b, c, calculates the discriminant, and depending on if it is positive, negative or zero, uses the appropriate formula to find one or two real roots or a pair of complex roots, printing the result.
