Thread: BMI calculation

Hi I am just starting to learn about java.I am trying to calculate BMI of an individual using the JOptionPane.showInputDialog method who I am asking to enter 4 things first name,last name,height in inches and weight in pounds. I want to show the BMI using JOptionPane.showMessageDialog method showing their full name and BMI.What am I doing wrong ?

 
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
 
public class P1 {
 
	public static void main(String[] args) {
 
		String FirstName = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter your First name");
		String LastName = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter your Last name");
		double height = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter your height in inches");
		int inches = Integer.parseInt(height);
		int metre= inches*0.0254;
 
		double weight =JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter your weight in pounds");
		int pounds = Integer.parseInt(weight);
		int kilo= pounds/2.2;
 
		String response=
				"kilo"*sqrt"metre" +"FirstName"+"Lastname"
 
		JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, response);
	}
 
}
