2.Compute the roots of a quadratic equation by accepting the coefficients. Print appropriate
messages.
Algorithm:
Step 1: START
Step 2 : Read coefficients a,b,c
Step 3: Compute the descriminant : d=(b*b)-(4*a*c)
Step 4: Check whether a==0 && b==0
if true, print invalid inputs
Step 5: Check whether a==0
if true, print linear equation
Compute root r1=-c/b
print Root=r1
Step 6: else if d==0
If true, print Roots are real and equal
Compute r1=-b/(2*a)
Compute r2=-b/(2*a)
print root r1 and r2
Step 7: else if d>0
If true, print roots are real and distinct
Compute r1=-b+(sqrt(d)/(2*a))
Compute r2=-b-(sqrt(d)/(2*a))

print root r1 and r2
Step 8: else if d<0
prints Roots are imaginary
Compute real r=-b/(2*a)
Compute imaginary i=(sqrt(fabs(d)))/(2*a)
print r1= real+i imaginary
print r2= real-i imaginary
Step 9: STOP
