To use Notepad to write code to compute an equation, you can follow these steps:
1. Open Notepad.
2. Type the following code:
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
float a, b, c;
float discriminant;
float root1, root2;
printf("Enter the coefficients of the quadratic equation: ");
scanf(" %f %f %f ", &a, &b, &c);
discriminant = b * b - 4 * a * c;
if (discriminant > 0) {
root1 = (-b + sqrt(discriminant)) / (2 * a);
root2 = (-b - sqrt(discriminant)) / (2 * a);
printf("The roots of the equation are %f and %f.\n", root1, root2);
} else if (discriminant == 0) {
root1 = -b / (2 * a);
printf("The root of the equation is %f.\n", root1);
} else {
printf("The equation has no real roots.\n");
}
return 0;
}
3. Save the file as `equation.c`.
4. Open a terminal window. 5. Navigate to the directory where you saved the file. 6. Type the following command to compile the code:
gcc equation.c -o equation
7. Type the following command to run the code:
./equation
The code will prompt you to enter the coefficients of the quadratic equation. Enter the coefficients and the code will print the roots of the equation.
