BMI problem what's wrong ?

Question

Hello everyone,
I was wondering why this code is incorrect for the BMI problem ?

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

Answer 1

It's not necessary to add prompt(input) message in your solution.

x = float(input())
y = float(input())

Answer 2

Nelson M If it runs through automated test cases it is wrong if it doesnt exactly follow the specification

Answer 3

Do not put "weight" and "height" inside your input. Instead just write:
x=float(input())
y=float(input())
Everything else seems fine to me.

Answer 4

Look at the condition in the two `elif` blocks. You are supposed to check whether <BMI> was within certain range, but you instead were checking <x> to the right of logical AND operator.

elif BMI >=18.5 and x <25:
print ("Normal")
elif BMI >= 25 and x <30:
print ("Overweight")

(Edit)
Snippet is edited.

Answer 5

Oh my bad I didnt copy the good one (I modified it above):

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

Why it's still wrong ?

Answer 6

Simba So it's wrong to put "weight" inside the input ? How the user would know between weight or height is "x" ?

Answer 7

Nelson M as this is a code coach problem, only automated tests will run your code ^^

Try this:

#your code goes here
weight = int(input());
height = float(input());
bmi = weight/float(height*height);
if bmi<18.5:
print('Underweight')
elif bmi>=18.5 and bmi<25:
print("Normal")
elif bmi>=25 and bmi<30:
print('Overweight')
else:
print('Obesity')

Answer 9

Try this code

Nelson MG do not put prompt in input .As the sololearn compiler is not supporting
But your code will work on other compilers
Thank you. 🙏

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