PROGRAM 10: Angle Conversion
Believed to have originated in France, a gradian is a unit of measure of an angle that is equivalent to 1/400th of a turn or 9/10th of a degree.  The formula for this conversion solving for Gradian is:

    Gradian = 400 * turn                    or            Gradian = 1.111 * degree

Prompt the user for a value and displays the Gradian value you calculate, if the original value was a degree or a turn.  A sample program dialogue is shown below.

What’s your number: 10.0
Assuming you entered a turn amount, here’s your Gradian: 4000.000
Assuming you entered a degree amount, here’s your Gradian: 11.110

What’s your number: 15.12
Assuming you entered a turn amount, here’s your Gradian: 6048.000
Assuming you entered a degree amount, here’s your Gradian: 16.798

PROGRAM 11: Quadratic Equation
Write an HLA Assembly language program that factors an equation of the form  ax2 + bx + c = 0 by using the quadratic equation.  The formula you need to calculate is shown below:.

Your program should prompt for the values a, b and c, each which are to be real32 values.  A sample program dialogue is shown below.

(Note: Please assume that b2 – 4 a c (what is referred to as the “discriminant”) will always be positive so that you do not need to worry about any imaginary roots.)

Gimme a value for a: 1
Gimme a value for b: 3
Gimme a value for c: -4
The solutions are x = -4.000 and x = 1.000

Gimme a value for a: 2
Gimme a value for b: -4
Gimme a value for c: -3
The solutions are x = -0.580 and x = 2.580
