Garry's Mod tutorials - 2. Making a Quadratic Equation Solver

This H.O.S.U. video shows how to make a moderately simple quadratic equation solver in Garry's Mod.

Since this contraption contains more than one specific gate, it's recommended to use the namer tool on chips to identify them better.

You're gonna need:
*a surface of some kind where to mount everything;
*a wire CONSTANT VALUE one value, named "A";
*a wire CONSTANT VALUE one value, named "B";
*a wire CONSTANT VALUE one value, named "C";
*a wire CONSTANT VALUE one value, named "Y";
*a wire CONSTANT VALUE (3 different values: 4; 2; 0), named "E";
*a wire NEGATE gate;
*a wire EXPONENTIAL POWERS gate, named "A";
*a wire EXPONENTIAL POWERS gate, named "B";
*a wire MULTIPLY gate, named "A";
*a wire MULTIPLY gate, named "B";
*a wire MULTIPLY gate, named "C";
*a wire MULTIPLY gate, named "D";
*a wire SUBTRACT gate, named "A";
*a wire SUBTRACT gate, named "B";
*a wire ADD gate, named "A";
*a wire ADD gate, named "B";
*a wire DIVIDE gate, named "A";
*a wire DIVIDE gate, named "B";
*a wire DIVIDE gate, named "C";
*a wire SQUARE ROOT gate;
*a wire LESS THAN gate;
*a wire NOT gate;
*a wire SCREEN with heading "X1";
*a wire SCREEN with heading "X2";
*a wire SCREEN with heading "Y";
*a wire SCREEN with heading "Extremum";
*a wire SCREEN with heading "A";
*a wire SCREEN with heading "B";
*a wire SCREEN with heading "C";
*a wire TEXT SCREEN with text "NO Nullpoints".
