BMI Calculator Formular

Create a BMI calculator that reads the user’s weight in pounds and height in inches (or, if you prefer, the user’s weight in kilograms and height in meters), then calculates and displays the user’s body mass index. Also, display the following information from the Department of Health and Human Services/National Institutes of Health so the user can evaluate his/her BMI:

BMI VALUES

Underweight: less than 18.5
Normal: between 18.5 and 24.9

    Hi 5faya,
    If you understood the program above, I think you should be able to solve the problem yourself. Its just knowing the right formula and converting it to a java program or any other programming language.

    If you cannot solve it after trying it yourself, tell me the formula for calculating BFI and then I can help you.
