CP

This C program calculates the roots of a quadratic equation based on user-provided coefficients a, b, and c. It checks the discriminant to determine if the roots are real and distinct, real and the same, or complex. The program also handles the case where coefficient 'a' is zero, indicating that it's not a quadratic equation.
