Python BMI calculator

Question

Hi all,

So my code is always returning "Underweight" and I'm not sure why. I tried putting in print(x) to see what the calculation came out with, and I'm getting extremely small decimals. Can anyone tell me why?

height = float(input())
weight = float(input())

x = weight/(height**2)

if x < 18.5:
print("Underweight")
elif x >= 18.5 and x < 25:
print("Normal")
elif x >= 25 and x < 30:
print("Overweight")
else:
print("Obesity")

Answer 1

Change the order of data entry, weight is entered first, then height.

Answer 2

Michaela Rehm,
tell me how you enter the parameters of height and weight?
Remember, weight in kilograms, height in meters (for example: 190 cm. = 1.9 m.)
If you enter height in centimeters the value of the variable "X" will be extremely small..

Answer 3

Same here, non of the answers worked for me

Answer 4

Multiply the height rather than using exponentials, the rest of the code looks good.
