This assignment is intended to see if youve learned the basic concepts talked about thus far in the lectures.

Program

BMI stands for Body Mass Index. It quantifies the amount of tissue mass (muscle, fat and bone) in an individual. It was first proposed by Adolphe Quetlet during World War 2 when the relationship between weight and cardiovascular disease became a significant point of study. It was an attempt to categorize a person as underweight, normal weight, overweight or obese based on the value obtained from the following formula: see image.

In the equation above, lb stands for pounds and in stands for inches.

In this assignment, you task is to build a BMI calculator, and goal calculator.

Your program will:

• Ask for the users weight in pounds (no decimals)
• Ask the user for their height in feet and inches (no decimals required)
• Ask for the users target weekly weight change (should allow decimals)
• Ask the user how many weeks they intend to continue with their plan
• Show users start and end weight and BMI in a aligned table.
• BMI should be shown to two decimal places, weight with no decimal places
• You can format the table however you like, but the columns must be aligned for any reasonable data

All output should be clear and understandable
