BMI Calculator

This Python script calculates Body Mass Index (BMI) based on a person's height and weight. It then interprets the BMI to provide a classification ranging from underweight to clinically obese.

Example

Here You can take the reference chart

╒════════════════╤═════════════════╕
│ BMI            │ Weight Status   │
╞════════════════╪═════════════════╡
│ Below 18.5     │ Underweight     │
│ 18.5 – 24.9    │ Normal weight   │
│ 25.0 – 29.9    │ Overweight      │
│ 30.0 and above │ Obese           │
╘════════════════╧═════════════════╛

Enter your height in meters: 1.75
Enter your weight in kilograms: 68
Your BMI is 22.2, you have a normal weight.
