Question

It’s now time to pick up the pace a bit. I’ve got you doing a lot of printing so that you get used to typing simple things, but those simple things are fairly boring. What we want to do now is get you getting data into your programs. This though is a little tricky so we have to have you learn to do two things that may not make sense right away, but if you stick with it they should click suddenly a few exercises from now.Most of what software does is the following:

Take some kind of input from a person.
Change it.
Print out something to show how it changed.

So far you’ve only been printing, but you haven’t been able to get any input from a person, or change it. You may not even know what “input” means, so rather than talk about it, let’s have you do some and see if you get it. Next exercise we’ll do more to explain it.

AskingQuestions.java

import java.util.Scanner;

public class AskingQuestions
{
    public static void main( String[] args )
    {
        Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);

        int age;
        String height;
        double weight;

        System.out.print( "How old are you? " );
        age = keyboard.nextInt();

        System.out.print( "How tall are you? " );
        height = keyboard.next();

        System.out.print( "How much do you weigh? " );
        weight = keyboard.nextDouble();

        System.out.println( "So you're " + age + " old, " + height + " tall and " + weight + " heavy." );
    }
}

Notice that we used print instead of println. This is so that the program doesn’t end the line with a newline and go to the next line.

U:\My Documents\CompSci\>java AskingQuestions
How old are you? 35
How tall are you? 6'2"
How much do you weigh? 180
So, you're 35 old, 6'2" tall and 180 heavy.

U:\My Documents\CompSci\>

Assignments turned in without these things will not receive any points.

Change the program so that it reads in the height in two parts. The first part should read in an int for the number of feet. Then read in a second int for the number of inches. Try to make the output look the same, though.

How old are you? 35
How many feet tall are you? 6
And how many inches? 2
How much do you weigh? 180
So, you're 35 old, 6'2" tall and 180 heavy.

Answer :

AskingQuestions.java

import java.util.Scanner;

public class AskingQuestions
{
    public static void main( String[] args )
    {
        Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);

        int age, feet, inches;
        double weight;

        System.out.print("How old are you? ");
        age = keyboard.nextInt();

        System.out.print("How many feet tall are you? ");
        feet = keyboard.nextInt();
        System.out.print("And how many inches? ");
        inches = keyboard.nextInt();

        System.out.print("How much do you weight? ");
        weight = keyboard.nextDouble();

        System.out.print("So you're " + age + " old, " + feet + "'" + inches + "\" tall and " + weight + " heavy.");
    }
}

20. BMI Calculator - Link

Task
Answer
Bonus

(This assignment was suggested by Joel H in 2012.)The body mass index (BMI) is commonly used by health and nutrition professionals to estimate human body fat in populations.It is computed by taking the individual’s weight (mass) in kilograms and dividing it by the square of their height in meters.

Your height in m: 1.75
Your weight in kg: 73

Your BMI is 23.83673

BMICalc.java

import java.util.Scanner;

public class BMICalc
{
    public static void main( String[] args )
    {
        Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);

        double height, weight, bmi;

        System.out.print("Your height in m: ");
        height = keyboard.nextDouble();
        System.out.print("Your weight in kg: ");
        weight = keyboard.nextDouble();

        bmi = weight / Math.pow(height, 2);

        System.out.printf("\nYour BMI is %.5f", bmi);
    }
}

Bonus #1 - Imperial Measurements

For +10 bonus points, input their weight and height using pounds and inches, and convert to kilograms and meters to figure the BMI.

Your height in inches: 69
Your weight in pounds: 160

Your BMI is 23.625289

Answer :

BMICalc.java

import java.util.Scanner;

public class BMICalc
{
    public static void main( String[] args )
    {
        Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);

        double height, weight, bmi;

        System.out.print("Your height in inches: ");
        height = keyboard.nextDouble();
        System.out.print("Your weight in pounds: ");
        weight = keyboard.nextDouble();

        height = height * 0.0254;
        weight = weight * 0.453592;

        bmi = weight / Math.pow(height, 2);

        System.out.printf("\nYour BMI is %.6f", bmi);
    }
}

For an extra +3 bonus points (+13 total), input their height in feet and inches.

Your height (feet only): 5
Your height (inches): 9
Your weight in pounds: 160

Your BMI is 23.625289

Answer :

BMICalc.java

import java.util.Scanner;

public class BMICalc
{
    public static void main( String[] args )
    {
        Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);

        double height, weight, bmi, feet, inches;

        System.out.print("Your height (feet only): ");
        feet = keyboard.nextDouble();
        System.out.print("Your height (inches): ");
        inches = keyboard.nextDouble();
        System.out.print("Your weight in pounds: ");
        weight = keyboard.nextDouble();

        height = (feet * 12 + inches) * 0.0254;
        weight = weight * 0.453592;

        bmi = weight / Math.pow(height, 2);

        System.out.printf("\nYour BMI is %.6f", bmi);
    }
}
