Question

Create a program that calculates a persons Body Mass Index (BMI).

You will need the persons height in inches and their weight in pounds.

The formula to calculate the Body Mass Index is:

BMI = ( W * 703 ) / ( H * H )

Where: BMI = Body Mass Index

W = weight in pounds

H = height in inches

In addition to correctly calculating the numeric value of the BMI, your program should also display the descriptive word that corresponds to the following range of BMI values:

Range of BMI Values

Description

Less than 18.5

Underweight

18.5 or greater, but less than 25

Normal

25 or greater, but less than 30

Overweight

30 or greater

Obese

Your program should do the following:

        1. Prompt the user for their weight in pounds.

        2. Prompt the user for their height in inches.

        3. Echo the weight and height values back to the User.

        3. Calculate and display the BMI value.

        4. Display the descriptive word that corresponds to their BMI value.

To receive full credit for this programming assignment, you must:

Explanation / Answer

Program Code:

#include "stdafx.h"

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
   double height, weight;
   double bmi;
   cout<<"Enter height in inches:";
   cin>>height;
   cout<<"Weight in pounds: ";
   cin>>weight;
   cout<<"Height="<<height<<"Weight="<<weight<<endl;
   bmi=( weight * 703 ) / ( height * height );
   cout<<"BMI is: "<<bmi<<endl;
   if(bmi<18.5)
       cout<<"Underweight"<<endl;
   else if(bmi>=18.5 && bmi<25)
       cout<<"Normal"<<endl;
   else if(bmi>=25 && bmi<30)
       cout<<"verweight"<<endl;
   else
       cout<<"Obese";

   system("pause");
   return 0;
}

Sample Output:

Enter height in inches:63
Weight in pounds: 132
Height=63Weight=132
BMI is: 23.3802
Normal
