Question
Describe the overall purpose of the program, functionality of the program is demonstrated, and the input and output of the BMI program below.
 
 
 
#BMI Program
def printBMI(weight,height):
bmi = weight/(height*height)
print("BMI is: ",bmi,"and you are ",end="")
if bmi <= 18.5:
print("underweight")
elif 18.5 < bmi < 25:
print("normal")
elif 25 < bmi < 30:
print("overweight")
elif bmi > 30:
print("obese")

 

#MAIN PROGRAM
choice = input("Press I for imperial or M for metric: ")
if choice == 'I':
Imperialweight = float(input("Enter weight in pounds: "))
Imperialheight = float(input("Enter height in feet (decimals): "))
Imperialweight = Imperialweight * 703
Imperialheight = Imperialheight * 12
printBMI(Imperialweight ,Imperialheight)
elif choice == 'M':
Metricweight = float(input("Enter weight in kilograms: "))
Metricheight = float(input("Enter height in meters: "))
printBMI(Metricweight,Metricheight)
def function(WeightsList,HeightsList): #function accepting lists of heights and weights
for i in range(0,len(WeightsList)): #i from 0 to last index of list
printBMI(WeightsList[i],HeightsList[i]); #call BMI method by passing weight and height of person
