Computorv1

Polynomial equation solver, coded in Python.

The project:

• Solves polynomial equations given as program's argument
• Balances the equation and displays the reduced form
• Displays the degree of the equation
• Computes and display the discriminant's sign when it applies
• Computes and displays the equation's solutions

Try it:

• The Makefile present in this repository provides multiple tests
• These tests can be launched with make testN ('N' replaced with the number of the test)
• Example: "make test4"
• Alternatively the program accepts one string as an argument and it must be formatted in the following way:
  • "N1 * X^0 + N2 * X^1 ... Nn * X^t = M1 * X^0 + M2 * X^1 ... Mn * X^t"
  • N1 ... Nn and M1 ... Mn are the coefficients of every X
  • t is the maximum exponent of x (also the degree of the polynome)
• The program solves the equations of degrees up to 2
• The equation must be well formatted
