Please help me with this, it is supposed to find all roots of a quadratic formula. I can't get it to work, what is wrong? :(
#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
/*

It will find the real roots for a quadratic equation
if > 0
If == 0 (repeated)
if < 0
x1, x2 = -b+-sqrt(b^2-4ac)/2a

For one, it doesn't help that you calculate the discriminant before you get the input.

@Brandon Stick with one and only one thread if its about the same program. Pick one that suits you and close all the others you have duplicated with a green tick.
Duplicates waste peoples time and effort and don't help your cause at all :)
