Inputs for the Tutorial: A quadratic equation a(x²)+bx+c=0 with input as three positive integers a, b, c having values ranging from an interval [0,100].

Objective of this Tutorial: There are two objectives of the tutorial like:

Objective –1: To write a Program in C⁺⁺ for the determining the nature of roots of the above quadratic equation. The program output may have one of the following words:

Objective –2: Boundary Value Testing by designing Test Cases which would use input variables at their Minimum Values, Just above Minimum Values, at Nominal Value, Just below Maximum and Minimum Values.

Solution Part – 1: Program in C⁺⁺

#include
#include
void main( )
{
clrscr( );
int a,b,c,d;
cout<<"The quadratic equation is of the type a(x²)+bx+c=0"<cout<<"Enter the value of a:"<cin>>a;
cout<<"Enter the value of b:"<cin>>b;
cout<<"Enter the value of c: "<cin>>c;
d = (b*b)-4*a*c;
if((a<0)||(b<0)||(c<0)||(a>100)||(b>100)||(c>100))
cout«"Invalid input"«end1;
elseif(a==0)
cout<<"Not a quadratic equation"<elseif(d==0)
cout<<"Roots are equal"<else if(d<0)
cout<<"Imaginary roots"<else
cout<<"Real roots"<getch();
}

Solution Part – 2: Design Boundary Value Test Cases
