Hello all.
Please I have challenge on an assignment. I am getting this error invalid literal for int() with base 10 while trying to run a function I created to calculate BMI. I did a code like this:

height = input("enter your height in m: ")
weight = input("enter your weight in kg: ")
h = int(height)
w = int(weight)
BMI = w/(h*h)
print(int(BMI))

Please assist.

Hi Ike.
Please try float your height and weight as seen below and you’ll be fine.

h = float(height)
w = float(weight)
