Algorithm

Step-1: [Read values of A, B, C]-Read A, B, C.
Step-2: [Check for Co-efficient]-If A=B=C=0 then roots are non-determinant
Step-3:[Compute the value Disc]- Disc=B*B-4*A*C;
Step-4:[Different roots are obtained depending on the value of disc]-
- If Disc is lesser than 0 than goto step 5
- If Disc is equals to 0 than goto step 6
- If Disc is greater than 0 than goto step 7.
Step-5: Print Imaginary roots.
- Realp=-B/2*A;
- Imagp=sqrt(Disc)/2*A;
- Root1=realp + imagep;
- Root2 = realp – imagep;
Step-6:Roots are real and equal
- Root1=B/2*A;
- Root2 = root1;
Step-7: roots are real and distinct
- Root1= – B +sqrt(Disc)/2*A;
- Root2 = -B -sqrt(Disc)/2*A;
Step-8: Stop
