This program asks the user for a, b, and c from the quadratic equation,
and then solves the equation for real roots. If the equation has complex
roots, then a message stating so is printed to the screen.

        # Get the input from the user.
        a = float(input("Enter a from your quadratic equation.\n"))

        # Calculate the discriminant.
        discriminant = pow(b, 2) - 4 * a * c
