    This document outlines the design of a program to solve quadratic equations. It will: 1) Prompt the user for the coefficients a, b, and c of the equation ax^2 + bx + c = 0. 2) Calculate the discriminant and determine if there are two distinct real roots, two repeated real roots, or no real roots. 3) Output the real roots of the equation or a message about there being no real roots.

    State the problem


    Design and write a program to solve for the real The problem statement for this example is very
    roots of a quadratic equation. simple. We want to write a program that will solve
    for the real roots of a quadratic equation, whether
    they are distinct real roots, or repeated real roots.

    2. Define input and outputs 3. Design algorithm


    Input: This task can be broken down into three major
    sections, whose functions are input, processing,
    The inputs required by this program are
    and output:
    coefficients , , and of the quadratic equation
    Read the input data
    + + =0
    Calculate the roots
    Output: Write out the roots

    The output from the program will be the real roots We will now break each of the above major
    of the quadratic equation, whether they are distinct sections into smaller, more detailed pieces.
    real roots, or repeated real roots.

    4. Pseudocode 4. Pseudocode
    Prompt the user for the coefficients a, b, and c. IF discriminant < 0 THEN
    Read a, b, and c Write message that equation has no real roots.
    Echo the input coefficients ELSE IF discriminant > 0 THEN
    discriminant ← b**2 - 4. * a * c x1 ← (-b + sqrt(discriminant)) / (2. * a )
    x2 ← (-b - sqrt(discriminant)) / (2. * a )
    Write message that equation has two distinct real
    roots.
    Write out the two roots
