Does anyone know what’s wrong with this? It’s for the BMI calculator project. It says there is an invalid syntax in line 5

Question

x = float(input())

y = float(input())

if x/y**2 < 18.5:

print('Underweight')

elif x/y**2 >= 18.5 and < 25.0:

print('Normal')

elif x/y**2 >= 25.0 and < 30.0:

print('Overweight')

else:

print('Obesity')

Answer 1

elif x/y**2 >= 18.5 and < 25.0 :
^^^

Here is the error. You have to do the following :

elif x/y**2 >= 18.5 and x/y**2 < 25.0 :

Answer 2

The previous comment have your answer.
But if you want to do it using less text first use a variable like: bmi, b etc. and insert the formula in it like: bmi = x/y**2
Now if you type 5th line like this: elif 18.5<=bmi<25:
it will also work the same.
