Create a BMI Calculator with Free Source Code

Do you want to build a project that’s both fun and practical? Try creating a BMI Calculator! This web app calculates your Body Mass Index based on your height and weight, displaying health categories like “Underweight” or “Overweight.” Best of all, you can access the source code for free.

Highlights:

  • Interactive interface for quick BMI calculations.
  • User-friendly design with a responsive layout.
  • BMI guide included for better understanding.

How the BMI Calculator Works:

  • Input: Users enter their height (in cm) and weight (in kg).
  • Calculation: JavaScript computes the BMI using the formula: BMI = weight / (height / 100)²
  • Output: Displays the BMI result and health category.

Free Source Code:

Setup Instructions:

  1. Open index.html in a browser.
  2. Adjust the layout in styles.css for a custom design.
