Problem Description:

Solve a quadratic equation in two linked files. Write a function to calculate the roots of any quadratic equation of the form ax2+bx+c. a, b, and c are all single-precision floating point values and are passed to the function on the stack. The order you put the arguments on the stack is up to you.

When you return, there should be three items on the stack, two floating point values (referred to below as r1 and r2), and a Status integer. Status indicates the nature of the results returned. Again, the order you put the three values on the stack is up to you.

Status:

0 : 2 real roots in r1 & r2

1 : 1 real root in r1; r2 can be ignored

2: 2 complex roots of the form (r1 i r2)

3 : no roots computed (error); r1 and r2 can be ignored.

Your program should prompt for the values a, b, and c, then label and print the results. For the purposes of this function, assume two numbers that are within 0.001 are the same.

Submit the Following File(s):

roots.asm, roots_main.asm

Required Input:

Three 32-bit floating point numbers (a, b, and c)

Required Output:

Your output should look something like the following examples.

 Quadratic Solver a: 4.3 b: -2.45 c: 2.0 There are two complex roots: 0.284883721 +/- 0.619643078i
