Question

Write a program that calculates and displays a person’s body mass index (BMI). The BMI is often used to determine whether a person with a sedentary lifestyle is overweight or underweight for his or her height. A person’s BMI is calculated with the following formula:
BMI = weight x 703 / height2

where weight is measured in pounds and heightis measured in inches. The program should ask the user to enterhis/her weight and height. The program should display a message indicating whether the person has optimal weight, is underweight, or is overweight. A sedentary person’s weight is considered optimal if his or her BMI is between18.5 and 25. If the BMI is less than 18.5, the person is considered underweight. If the BMI valueis greater than 25, the person is considered overweight

Answer 1

Answer:

This program is written using C++

Comments are used to explain difficult lines

Program starts here

#include<iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()

{

//Declare variables

float BMI, Height,Weight;

// Prompt user for inputs

cout<<"Ener Height (in inches): ";

cin>>Height;

cout<<"Enter Weight (in pounds): ";

cin>>Weight;

//Calculate BMI

BMI = (Weight * 703)/(Height * Height);

cout<<"Your Body Mass Index (BMI) is "<<BMI<<endl;

//Test and print whether user is underweight, overweight or optimal

if(BMI>=18.5&&BMI<=25)

{

 cout<<"You have an optimal weight";

}

else if(BMI<18.5)

{

 cout<<"You are underweight";

}

else if(BMI>25)

{

 cout<<"You are overweight";

}  

return 0;

 

}
