Thread: NEED HELP ASAP PLEASE!!!

am from the u.k and a newbie to java and i need to create a Body Mass Index Calculator....ive been trying for awhile going through java books but can't seem to get it right....can any one please create a BMI calculator which is really simple and shows weight status table. i have to create this table using Jpad pro....only the javascript code is required so it works without errors when compiled on Jpad pro.

i managed to create this as simple as i can i have ONE ERROR...

public class BMI
{
 
public static void main(String[] args) {
int weight; //weight
int height; //height
int BMI; //BMI
char Overweight=0; //Overweight
char Normal_Weight=0; //Normal Weight
char Underweight=0; //Underweight
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
 
System.out.print("Enter the weight: ");
weight = input.nextInt();
System.out.print("Enter the height: ");
height = input.nextInt();
input.close();
 
BMI = weight / height;
System.out.println("BMI (Body Mass Index): " + BMI);
if (BMI >= 25 ) {
BMI = Overweight;
System.out.print("BMI = ");
}
}

if anyone can make it any more simple then please do....and also add the the weight status table if its possible

thhanx in advance!

You need to put that bracket at the end. Always make sure every parenthesis/bracket/square bracket has a matching mate (the exception being inside of comments or strings).

Less errors is not always an indication that you're making progress in making your program work as intended. post the details on these other errors you are getting.

Also, make sure to surround your code with [highlight=Java]// code goes here[/highlight].

You were missing a bracket and I'm assuming that your forgot to import Java.util.Scanner;
Once I added both of those the code worked for me.

import java.util.Scanner;
 
public class BMI {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      int weight; //weight
      int height; //height
      int BMI; //BMI
      char Overweight=0; //Overweight
      char Normal_Weight=0; //Normal Weight
      char Underweight=0; //Underweight
      Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
 
      System.out.print("Enter the weight: ");
      weight = input.nextInt();
      System.out.print("Enter the height: ");
      height = input.nextInt();
      input.close();
 
      BMI = weight / height;
      System.out.println("BMI (Body Mass Index): " + BMI);
 
      if (BMI >= 25 ) {
         BMI = Overweight;
         System.out.print("BMI = ");
      }
   }
}
