problem with output

Hey! So I wrote this code:

#include <iostream>
#include <math.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int a,b,c;
double x1,x2,delta;
cin>>a;
cin>>b;
cin>>c;
delta=b*b-4*a*c;
x1=(-b+sqrt(delta))/(2*a);
x2=(-b-sqrt(delta))/(2*a);
cout<<"x1="<<x1<<"x2="<<x2;
}

For some reason it only outputs "nan". Any ideas why? I tried with many inputs.
Yo! So I tried
1 2 1
x1=-1x2=-1 


Seems to work.

However, a, b, c should be double, not int. And make sure that you only input equations with real roots; i.e. those for which b2-4ac>=0. Trying "2 1 2" rather than "1 2 1" would be a disaster, for example.

#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
	double a {}, b {}, c {};

	cout << "Enter a b c values: ";
	cin >> a >> b >> c;

	if (const double discrim {b * b - 4.0 * a * c}; discrim >= 0) {
		const double x1 {(-b + sqrt(discrim)) / (2.0 * a)};
		const double x2 {(-b - sqrt(discrim)) / (2.0 * a)};

		cout << "x1= " << x1 << " x2= " << x2;
	} else
		cout << "Complex roots!\n";
}
