BMI Calculator

Question

I input:

weight = input()
height = input()
x = (weight/height/height)
if(x < 18.5):
print("Underweight")
if(x >= 18.5 and x < 25):
print("Normal")
if(x >= 25 and x < 30):
print("Overweight")
if(x > 30):
print("Obesity")
It outputs:
Trace back (most recent call last)
File “/usercode/file0.py”,in <module>
x = (weight/height/height)
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for ** or pow() : ‘str’ and ‘int’
