guys, is there someone that can help me with my coding?

I have a few problems with my coding and have absolutely no idea what to do to fix it. Basically I need to write a BMI calculator that uses 4 functions namely 1. "getData" which prompts and returns a users weight and height. 2. "calcBMi" to calculate the BMI using the formula bmi=weight/(height * height). 3. "displayFitnessResults" to display the bmi and weight status. Bmi < 18.5 - Underweight, bmi >= 18.5 && bmi <= 24.9 - Healthy, bmi >=25 && bmi <= 29.9 - Overweight, bmi >= 30 - Obese. 4. Main function

Okay, I tought it would be easier, but I faced many errors, most of them was caused by SoloLearn's compiler which has too less memory (I suppose). I can show you what I made and I will finish it tomorrow, better compile it in code blocks. https://code.sololearn.com/ci2GI5aiWBun/?ref=app

Yeah, that's beacuse I changed code while before, and I'm still getting segmentation fault. I gonna do it on Code Block, so I will fix it faster.

If you wanna enter every mark separately change getMarks to that: void getMarks(int (&marks)[6], string subjects[6]){     for(int i = 0; i < 6; i++){ cout<<"Enter your marks for " << subjects[i] << endl;         do{              cin >> marks[i];         }while(marks[i] < 0 || marks[i] > 100);     } } And i main: getMarks(marks, subjects);

Everything works, now it's only about changing the look of output.

I changed formula to w(h*h/10000) so you can input height in cm. If you want to enter it in meters remove '/10000' and change 'int' types to 'float'. https://code.sololearn.com/c0QcsEuFqlsl/?ref=app

On SoloLearn you can enter values only one time, before the whole output. Normally you could do it like that: cout<<"enter weight"; cin>>w; cout<<"enter height"; cin>>h;

Edit fuction getData: void getData(float &w, float &h) { cout << "Please enter your weight in Kilograms: " << endl; cin >> w; cout << "Please enter your height in Meters: " << endl; cin >> h; } Then delete this from main: cout << "Please enter your weight in Kilograms: " << endl; cin >> w; cout << "Please enter your height in Meters: " << endl; cin >> h;

So main should look like that: int main() { float weight, height; getData(weight, height); float bmi = calcBMI(weight, height); string fat = displayFitnessResults(bmi); cout << setprecision(3) << "Your weight is "<< weight << "kg and your height is " << height << "m." << endl <<"Your BMI is "<< bmi << "." << endl << fat; return 0; }

I was learning from polish website about c++ (a few free courses, about libs too), but SoloLearn is good. Beside the lessons you have challenges, quizes etc. so when you know syntax you can learn how to code from the others. It's easier then.

Example of output: Enter your name: namee Enter your surname: sur Enter your school name: sch Enter your marks: 15 49 99 100 78 89 Name: namee Surname: sur School Name: sch Student passed 12 grade. Student's average mark is 71  6  B He isn't distincted. Your best mark is 100 Your worst mark is 15 Marks: English - 15  1  FF Mathematics - 49  3  E Life Orientation - 99  7  A History - 100  7  A Computer Literacy - 78  6  B Geography - 89  7  A Distincted subjects: Life Orientation History Computer Literacy Geography Process returned 0 (0x0)   execution time : 61.110 s Press any key to continue.
