Thread: Weight/height Problem

Well the whole problem goes as such:

Write a program that asks for the user's height, weight, and age, and then computes clothing sizes according to the forumlas:

Hat size = weight in pounds divided by height in inches and all that multiplied by 2.9

Jacket size (chest in inches) = height times weight divided by 288 then adjusted by 1/8 of an inch for each 10 years over age 30 ( Note that the adjustment only takes place after a full 10 years. So there is no adjustment for ages 30 through 39, but 1/8 of an inch is added for age 40).

Waist in inches = weight divided by 5.7 and then adjusted by adding 1/10 of an inch for each 2 years over age 28. (Note that the adjustment only takes place after a full 2 years. So, there is no adjustment for age 29, but 1/10 of an inch is added for age 30)

Use functions for each calculation. Your program should allow the user to repeat this calculation as often as the user wishes.

Ok so I have the following for the hatsize method:

Code:

double HatSize(double weight, double height)
{

double result = 2.9*(weight/height);

return result;

}

What I need help is with the JacketSize and Waist in inches, maybe if you show me the jacketsize method I can figure out the waist in inches.


Thanks for all help!!

how would I get 1/8 of a inch though?

Did you try dividing 1 by 8?

Sometimes I wonder why people sign up for programming courses....
