Determine the BMI Category
Explore how to categorize BMI values using conditional logic in programming. Learn to apply if-else-if statements and draw flowcharts that map decisions, helping you understand decision-making in programs and solve real problems effectively.
Problem statement
Suppose you have the body mass index (BMI) of a person, and you want to find out if the person is underweight, healthy, overweight, or obese based on the following:
- obese: BMI is greater than or equal to 30
- overweight: BMI is greater than or equal to 25 but less than 30
- healthy: BMI is greater than or equal to 18.5 but less than 25
- underweight: BMI is less than 18.5
