How do I make my array legal? It doesn't seem to like my style here.

import java.util.Scanner;
public class solveQuadratic {

	/**
	 * @param args
	 */
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
		Scanner input = new Scanner (System.in);
		double[] eqn = new double[2];
		double[] roots = new double[3];
		System.out.println("If the format is ax(sq)+bx+c=0.");
			
		System.out.print("Enter a: ");
		double a = input.nextDouble();
		a = eqn[0];
			
		System.out.print("Enter b: ");
		double b = input.nextDouble();
		b = eqn[1];
			
		System.out.print("Enter c: ");
		double c = input.nextDouble();
		c= eqn[2];
		double disc = Math.pow(eqn[1],2) - 4*eqn[0]*eqn[2]; 
		solveQuadrat(eqn, roots);
		
		if (disc > 0 ){  
			System.out.println("there are two solutions: " +roots[0]+" and "+roots[1]);
		}
		else if (disc == 0){  
			System.out.println("The solutions is: "+roots[0]);  
		}
		else if (disc < 0){ 
			System.out.println("The solutions are "+roots[2]+ "i" + " and "+roots[3]+ "i");  
		}
	}
		
	public static int solveQuadrat(double[] eqn, double[] roots) {	
			
			
		double disc = Math.pow(eqn[1],2) - 4*eqn[0]*eqn[2];  
		double uno = (-eqn[1] + Math.sqrt(disc))/(2*eqn[0]);
		double dos = (-eqn[1] - Math.sqrt(disc))/(2*eqn[0]); 
		double i=Math.sqrt(-1);
		double tres = (-eqn[1] + (Math.sqrt(Math.abs(disc))))/(2*eqn[0]); 
		double quat = (-eqn[1] + (Math.sqrt(Math.abs(disc))))/(2*eqn[0]);
		uno = roots[0];
		dos = roots[1];
		tres = roots[2];
		quat = roots[3];
		return  0;
	}

			
			
}

I can do this without arrays no problem, I don't understand arrays at all. Is there a decent tutorial online?

Got it, the arrays were too small.

double[] eqn = new double[2];		
double[] roots = new double[3];
