Body Mass Index Calculator

Body mass index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to adult men and women, 20 years old and above. The formula for calculating BMI is:

weightInPounds * 703

BMI = --------------------------------------------

heightInInches * heightInInches

Create a BMI calculator application that reads the users weight in pounds and height in inches, then calculates and displays on screen the users body mass index and his/her status (Underweight, Normal, Overweight or Obese). A range of normal adult weight for the height must be calculated and displayed as well.

If the users status is not Normal, calculate and display how many pounds needed to lose or gain so that the user will have Normal status.

Also, the application must 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: in the interval [18.5, 25.0]

Overweight: in the interval (25.0, 30.0]

Obese: greater than 30

Finally, your name as the programmer who wrote the program must be displayed on screen as well at the end.

You should figure yourself the formula for the adjusted weight, which should be derived from the above formula for BMI.

Note:

Comments at the top of your source file must include a brief description of the program, your name and the date of finishing.

For decimal value, set limit to 2 digits after the dot (i.e. 12.45, N0T 12.4 OR 12.4999).

2 point is deducted for each requirement that was not satisfied.

Input / Output Table of Data for Testing (Your program must pass the table)

Weight	Height	BMI	Adjusted Weight	Status
110	65	18.30	+ 1.18	Underweight
111.20	65	18.50		Normal
152	65	25.29	- 1.75	Overweight
150.25	65	25.00		Normal
180.30	65	30.00	- 30.05	Overweight
180.40	65	30.02	- 30.15	Obese

Sample BMI calculater made by the professor. It has to be similar to it. PLEASE HELP!

Enter the weight: 110 Enter height (inches): 65

With your weight of 110.00 pounds, and height of 65.00 inches, Your BMI is: 18.30 - You are Underweight. You need to gain 1.18 pounds to be in the Normal BMI range.

A range of normal adult weight for the height is: 111.18 - 150.25 lbs.
