Look at the bmi formula again. Height must be raised by the power of 2. Also think about the conditions: * if bmi is <= than 18.5, it will naturally be smaller than 25 * bmi < 18.5 would be underweight * what if s.o. has a bmi of exactly 30?

In addition to prior comments, pay attention to the inputs. Code Coach provides weight first, then height.

BMI= weight/(height*height) It need power of 2 , not multiply 2 Your code never met condition for Normal.. .. Check your conditions again according to task..

You need to write **2 instead of *2 so you get the square and not the double

I suggest you to read the lessons about "elif statement" and "powers" again. Don't hesitate to use the app's editor to try some pieces of code.
