finding roots in a quadratic formula

im not entirely sure what i am doing wrong but this is the sciprt that i have written so far
function (x1, x2) = quad(a, b, c);
z= sqrt(b^2 -4*a*c);
w= 2*a;
x1= (-b+z)/w;
x2=(-b-z)/w;
a= input('Enter a Value for a')
b= input('Enter a value for b')
c= input('enter a vlaue for c')
if z<<0
fprintf('There are no real values')
else if z=0
fprintf('There is only one real root')
else z>>0
fprintf('There is two real roots')
end

(1) The discriminant is z=b^2 -4*a*c (no sqrt) - its sign matters;
(2) must be: line 9 ...z<0, line 11 ...z==0, line 13 z>0;
(3) if you transfer a, b, c as the function arguments, why do you use the "input" commands for them later? Their values renewed with "input" are never used.

function [z,x1,x2]=quad(a,b,c)
z=sqrt(b^2 -4*a*c);
w=2*a;
x1=(-b+z)/w;
x2=(-b-z)/w;
end
Call the quad function in Main Script:
a=input('Enter a Value for a: ');
b=input('\nEnter a value for b: ');
c=input('\nEnter a vlaue for c: ');
[z,x1,x2]=quad(a,b,c);
if z<0
fprintf('There are no real values')
elseif z==0
fprintf('There is only one real root')
else
fprintf('There is two real roots')
end

Save the function file in another Matlab file named as quad.m and call that function from main script, it OK (no coding error).
