**RESPOSITORY:** [PYTHON, OPEN SOURCE RESPOSITORY](https://github.com/python)
**WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:** 
- WHAT IS A BMI
- WHAT A BMI CALCULATOR IS
- FORMULA FOR SOLVING BMI 
- CODING A BMI CALCULATOR TO DETERMINE IF A MAN IS OVERWEIGHT



**REQUIREMENTS:** 
- A COMPUTER SYSTEM/ PC/ SMARTPHONE
- PYTHON SOFTWARE


**DIFFICULTY:** BASIC


**CONTENTS**
WHAT IS BMI: BMI simply stands for BODY MASS INDEX.



WHAT A BMI CALCULATOR IS: A BMI calculator is a calculator that is ised to detect if a man is overweight through his/her weight and height.


FORMULA FOR SOLVING BMI:  The formula is kg/m²  where by kg is a persons weight in kilogram and m² is a person height squared.



CODING A BMI CALCULATOR:  Coding a BMI calculator is simply done by the steps below:
IF NOT OVERWEIGHT:
```
name = "Kenechukwu"
height_m = 3
weight_kg = 20




bmi = weight_kg / (height_m ** 2)
print("bmi: ")
print(bmi)
if bmi < 25:
    print(name)
    print("is not overweight")
else:
    print(name)
    print("is overweight")

```
OUTPUT: ![Screenshot_QPython3_20180812-123359.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmec5FtxGnVDPudrEMkVxoZYuYtHNcJSJRVTZQdUbxJM5u/Screenshot_QPython3_20180812-123359.png)

This code is assigned to calculate a subject "Kenechukwu" to calculate his bmi and determine if he is overweight or not.
A man is labelled overweight if his BMI is 25 or more. The code below shows our subject is not over weight now ill re-write the code to make our subject overweight and see
 IF OVERWEIGHT:
```
name = "Kenechukwu"
height_m = 1
weight_kg = 500




bmi = weight_kg / (height_m ** 2)
print("bmi: ")
print(bmi)
if bmi < 25:
    print(name)
    print("is not overweight")
else:
    print(name)
    print("is overweight")
```

As you can see the bmi has been determined and clearly our subject is overweight.

I thank you for your contribution. Here are my thoughts;

* Tutorials should teach the user something unique, shouldn't show ubiquitous content-creation and replicate concepts which can be found over the internet with great ease. What you've shown in your tutorial can be described as "Mathematical Operations and Conditionals in Python with BMI Calculator Example", which meets my statement at above.

* Your tutorial is very messy. The main reason behind that is formatting.  I highly suggest you to use code blocks to show code, instead of plain text. That helps readability. If you don't know how to use code blocks, you can use the [Markdown Styling Guide](https://guides.github.com/features/mastering-markdown/).

* The volume of your tutorial is too sparse. It is preferable to have substantial concepts up to 4-5.
