Chapter 2 Exercise 14, Introduction to Java Programming, Tenth Edition Y. Daniel LiangY.

(Health application: computing BMI) Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measure of health on weight. It can be calculated by taking your weight in kilograms and dividing by the square of your height in meters. Write a program that prompts the user to enter a weight in pounds and height in inches and displays the BMI. Note that one pound is 0.45359237 kilograms and one inch is 0.0254 meters.


import java.util.Scanner;
 
public class ProgrammingEx2_14 {
 public static void main(String[] args) {
 
  Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
 
  System.out.print("Enter weight in pounds:");
  double weight = input.nextDouble();
  System.out.print("Enter height in inches:");
  double height = input.nextDouble();
  double BMI = (weight * 0.45359237) / Math.pow(height * 0.0254, 2);
 
  System.out.print("BMI is " + BMI);
 
 }
}
