Body Mass Index
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 × 703/height2
where weight is measured in pounds and height is measured in inches. 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 to be optimal if
his or her BMI is between 18.5 and 25. If the BMI is less than 18.5, the person is
considered to be underweight. If the BMI value is greater than 25, the person is
considered to be overweight.
Input Validation: Determine what inputs the program needs the user to enter and
what legal values the program should accept for these inputs.
