I need to write a script file that takes the coefficients of a quadratic and calculates the roots after testing them so that the least amount of calculation is done?

I have started with a code to simply calculate two roots of a quadratic function:
function [x1, x2] = quadraticRoots(a, b, c)
% Function to calculate the roots of the quadratic equation:
% a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0
% USAGE: [x1, x2] = quadraticRoots(a, b, c)
% INPUTS: a, b and c - the three coefficients
% OUTPUTS: x1 and x2 - the two roots of the equation
s = sqrt(b^2 - 4*a*c);
x1 = (-b+s)/(2*a);
x2 = (-b-s)/(2*a);
but don't know where to go from here?

By "testing" them do you mean to check if the coefficients will produce a Real solution as opposed to a complex solution?
