Chapter 6, Problem 28P

Body mass index (BMI) is a measure of obesity. In standard units, it is calculated by the formula

$BMI=703\frac{W}{H^2}$

where W is weight in pounds, and H is height in inches. The obesity classification is:

 

BMI	Classification
Below 18.5	Underweight
18.5 to 24.9	Normal
25 to 29.9	Overweight
30 and above	Obese

Write a program in a script file that calculates the BMI of a person. The program asks the person to enter his or her weight (lb) and height (in.). The program displays the result in a sentence that reads: “Your BMI value is XXX, which classifies you as SSSS.” where XXX is the BMI value rounded to the nearest tenth, and SSSS is the corresponding classification. Use the program for determining the obesity of the following two individuals:

(a) A person 6 ft 2 in. tall with a weight of 180 lb.

(b) A person 5 ft 1 in. tall with a weight of 150 lb.
