ICS3U Function Assignment2a

This document provides instructions for an assignment to create a Python program that calculates body mass index (BMI). It asks students to write functions to calculate BMI using either metric or imperial units, get user input for name, measurement system, height, and weight, then output the user's BMI statistics and classification. The program should define functions at the top to appropriately incorporate subprograms with parameter passing and variable scope.

Create Python programs to do the following:

1. The calculation for body mass index (BMI), depends on the units given for weight and height.
Metric calculation: weight is given in kilograms and height in metres and the formula is as
follows:

Imperial calculation: weight is given in pounds and height in inches and the formula is

The meanings of the scores are as follows:

 Less than 18.5  underweight


 18.5 – 25  normal
 Over 25 but less than 30  overweight
 30 and over  obese

Instructions

Write a python program to include your own functions in its design. It should still ask the user for
their name, a system of measurement to use (imperial or metric), their height, their weight, and then
calculates their BMI. Output should be a message to the user reiterating their statistics and stating
their BMI and what it means. TIP: You must use functions where appropriate and define them
at the top of your program.

Sample output:
Donald, with a height of 72 inches and a weight of 170 pounds, you
have a BMI of 23. This is considered normal.
