I'm doing a simple C program to calculate body mass index. However, it is returning a different (wrong) value than a regular calculator.
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
float height, weight, imc;
printf("Hello World!\nWhat's your height?");
scanf("%f", &height);
printf("What's your weight?");
scanf("%f", &weight);
imc = height / (weight * height);
printf("%f", imc);
getch();
return 0;
}
Expression: Height / weight²
#include<stdio.h>#include<conio.h>intmain(){floatheight,weight,imc;printf("Hello World!\nWhat's your height?");
scanf("%f", &height);
printf("What's your weight?");
scanf("%f", &weight);
imc = weight / (height * height);
printf("%f", imc);
getch();
return 0;
}
If you want to put the getch () function; you must include the #include <conio.h>
getch(); is not part of the default language
You are doing imc = height / (weight * height); ie height / (weight * height). It should be imc = height / (weight * weight);
