Objective: We will create a program that calculates the quadratic formula given user input

  1. Create a program, where you prompt the user (ask the user for input) for variables a, b, and c
  2. Calculate both real solutions to the quadratic equation
    1. Reminder: There are two roots to calculate
    2. HINT: exponentiation: x**y (x to the y power)
    3. HINT2: square root is the same as taking something to the power 0.5
  3. Print the quadratic equation: a*x^2 + b*x + c = c
  4. Print the two real solutions


  1. CHALLENGE: check if the solutions are real or imaginary
  2. CHALLENGE2: print both solutions even if imaginary
