Java program to get real solutions of quadratic equation
Not what you're looking for?
Write a Java program that prints all real solutions to the quadratic equation ax^2 + bx + c = 0. Read in a, b, c and use the quadratic formula. If the discriminant (b^2 - 4ac) is negative, display a message stating that there are no real solutions.
Implement a class QuadraticEquation whose constructor receives the coefficients a, b, c of the quadratic equation. Supply methods getSolution1 and getSolution2 that get the solutions, using the quadratic formula, or 0 if no solution exists. The getSolution1 method should return the smaller of the two solutions.
Supply a boolean method hasSolutions that returns false if the discriminant is negative.
Use the following class as your tester class:
/**
This program tests the QuadraticEquation class.
*/
public class QuadraticEquationTester
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
QuadraticEquation eq1 = new QuadraticEquation(2, 2, -4);
System.out.println(eq1.hasSolutions());
System.out.println("Expected: true");
System.out.println(eq1.getSolution1());
System.out.println("Expected: -2");
System.out.println(eq1.getSolution2());
System.out.println("Expected: 1");
QuadraticEquation eq2 = new QuadraticEquation(-2, -2, 4);
System.out.println(eq2.hasSolutions());
System.out.println("Expected: true");
System.out.println(eq2.getSolution1());
System.out.println("Expected: -2");
System.out.println(eq2.getSolution2());
System.out.println("Expected: 1");
QuadraticEquation eq3 = new QuadraticEquation(2, 2, 4);
System.out.println(eq3.hasSolutions());
System.out.println("Expected: false");
System.out.println(eq3.getSolution1());
System.out.println("Expected: 0");
System.out.println(eq3.getSolution2());
System.out.println("Expected: 0");
}
