Quadratic Equation Roots Calculator

This C program calculates the roots of a quadratic equation based on user-provided coefficients a, b, and c. It determines the nature of the roots by calculating the discriminant and outputs either real and distinct roots, real and equal roots, or complex roots. The program uses the sqrt() function from the math library to compute square roots as needed.
