Continue / break

Question

'''height = float (input())
weight = float (input ())
BMI = weight / height ** 2
if BMI < 18.5:
print ("Underweight")
continue

elif BMI >= 18.5 and BMI < 25:
print ("Normal")
continue

elif BMI >= 25 and BMI < 30:
print ("Overweight")
continue

elif BMI == 30 or BMI > 30:
print ("Obesity")
continue

Error:::(Continue/break are properly in loop) Why??? '''

Answer 1

Not exactly sure what's wrong with your code, but here is how I solved it:

weight = float(input())
height = float(input ())
bmi = weight / (height**2)
if bmi < 18.5:
print("Underweight")
elif bmi > 30:
print ("Obesity")
elif bmi >= 25 and bmi < 30:
print ("Overweight")
else:
print ("Normal")

Answer 2

In python continue and break are used only inside loops to go to the next iteration and break the loop relatively.

In your code there is no loop, that's why you get error, try removing continue statements and your code should work:

height = float (input())
weight = float (input ())
BMI = weight / height ** 2
if BMI < 18.5:
print ("Underweight")

elif BMI >= 18.5 and BMI < 25:
print ("Normal")

elif BMI >= 25 and BMI < 30:
print ("Overweight")

elif BMI == 30 or BMI > 30:
print ("Obesity")

Answer 3

continue and break are statements you can use within loops. Your code doesn't include any loops.

Answer 4

If I try removing continue statement, I get error in test case:
