A graphical user interface (GUI) application that calculates your Body Mass Index (BMI) for assessing your health and fitness.
- Enter Weight: Use the slider to select your weight in kilograms.
- Enter Height: Input your height in meters square in the provided text field.
- Calculate BMI: Click the "Click to Check Your BMI" button to calculate your BMI.
- Display Result: The calculated BMI value will be displayed below the button.
- BMI Table: Refer to the BMI table on the right side for interpretation of the calculated BMI.
The following libraries were used in the implementation of this BMI calculator:
- Tkinter: Tkinter is the standard GUI toolkit for Python. It provides a set of Python bindings to the Tk GUI toolkit, allowing us to create graphical user interfaces.
- math: The math library provides mathematical functions and constants. It is used in this calculator to perform the BMI calculation and round the result to two decimal places.
-
Input Weight and Height: Enter your weight in kilograms (kg) using the provided slider. Then, input your height in meters (mts) in the text field.
-
BMI Calculation: The application calculates the BMI using the formula: BMI = weight / (height * height). The BMI value is calculated based on the weight and height inputs provided.
-
BMI Result: The calculated BMI value is displayed on the screen. The result is rounded to two decimal places.
-
BMI Chart: You can refer to the BMI chart to interpret your calculated BMI value and assess your health and fitness level.
The BMI chart provides a general guideline for interpreting BMI values:
- Underweight: BMI less than 18.5
- Normal weight: BMI between 18.5 and 24.9
- Overweight: BMI between 25 and 29.9
- Obesity Level I: BMI between 30 and 34.9
- Obesity Level II: BMI between 35 and 39.9
- Obesity Level III: BMI greater than or equal to 40
Note: The BMI calculation is a basic indicator and does not take into account factors such as muscle mass and distribution of fat. Consult a healthcare professional for a comprehensive evaluation of your health.
