The following are two Python scripts that use height and weight to calculate Body Mass Index (BMI).

Metric Units

# BMI Calculator

# Get input values from the user
height = float(input("Enter your height in meters: "))
weight = float(input("Enter your weight in kilograms: "))

# Calculate the BMI
bmi = weight / (height ** 2)

# Display the BMI value
print("Your BMI is:", round(bmi, 2))

Imperial Units

# BMI Calculator (imperial units)

# Get input values from the user
height_in = float(input("Enter your height in inches: "))
weight_lbs = float(input("Enter your weight in pounds: "))

# Convert height to meters
height_m = height_in * 0.0254

# Convert weight to kilograms
weight_kg = weight_lbs / 2.205

# Calculate the BMI
bmi = weight_kg / (height_m ** 2)

# Display the BMI value
print("Your BMI is:", round(bmi, 2))
