CSE142 Sample Program handout #9
First Sample log of execution
-----------------------------
This program reads in data for two people
and computes their body mass index (BMI)
and weight status.
Enter next person's information:
height (in inches)? 73
weight (in pounds)? 225
Enter next person's information:
height (in inches)? 71
weight (in pounds)? 220
Person #1 body mass index = 29.681929067367236
overweight
Person #2 body mass index = 30.68042055147788
obese
Second Sample Log of Execution
------------------------------
This program reads in data for two people
and computes their body mass index (BMI)
and weight status.
Enter next person's information:
height (in inches)? 62.5
weight (in pounds)? 130.5
Enter next person's information:
height (in inches)? 58.5
weight (in pounds)? 90
Person #1 body mass index = 23.485824
normal
Person #2 body mass index = 18.487836949375414
underweight
