Roots of a quadratic function
var sets = [
[1, 2, 1],
[1, 2, 3],
[1, -2, 1],
[1, 0, -4],
[1, -1e6, 1],
]
func quadroots(a, b, c) {
var root = sqrt(b**2 - 4*a*c)
[(-b + root) / (2 * a),
(-b - root) / (2 * a)]
}
sets.each { |coefficients|
say ("Roots for #{coefficients}",
"=> (#{quadroots(coefficients...).join(', ')})")
