Trying to create a BMI calculator Help! - jamshaid1997 - Oct-10-2017
name = ( input ('what is your name? '))
height = float( input ("What is your bodys height in meters?"))
weight = float( input ("what is the weight of your body in kilograms?"))
print( name "body mass index is: " round(weight / (height * height), 2))hi i am trying to create a BMI calculator that collects the users name and then collects the users weight and height in order to calculate the users BMI however i am getting a syntax error on the last line:print( name "body mass index is: " round(weight / (height * height), 2))for some reason the last quote is the issue
can someone please help

i would guess that what you try to do is actually
print(name, "body mass index is: ", round(weight/(height * height), 2))however there are better ways. Assuming lines 1-3 stay the same, you can replace line 4 with any of the others
print("{0} body mass index is: {1:.2f}".format(name, weight/(height * height)))bmi = weight/(height * height)
print("{0} body mass index is: {1:.2f}".format(name, bmi))and only in python3.6+bmi = weight/(height * height)
print(f"{name} body mass index is: {bmi:.2f}")
