Creating JavaScript Function
This is where the main function of the application is. This code will automatically calculate and give you the result for your BMI when you click the button To do this just copy and write these block of codes inside the text editor and save it as script.js.
- function
calculateBmi(
)
{
- var
weight =
document.getElementById
(
'weight'
)
.value
;
- var
height =
document.getElementById
(
'height'
)
.value
;
- if
(
weight >
0
&&
height >
0
)
{
- var
bmi =
weight/
(
height/
100
*
height/
100
)
- document.getElementById
(
'bmi'
)
.value
=
bmi;
- if
(
bmi <
18.5
)
{
- document.getElementById
(
'result'
)
.value
=
"You are too thin."
;
- }
- if
(
bmi >
18.5
&&
bmi <
24.9
)
{
- document.getElementById
(
'result'
)
.value
=
"You are healthy."
;
- }
- if
(
bmi >
25
)
{
- document.getElementById
(
'result'
)
.value
=
"You are overweight."
;
- }
- }
- else
{
- alert(
"Please enter something first!"
)
- }
- }
In the code provided we just created just one method called calculateBmi(), this function will calculate your bmi result after providing your physical measurement. The code uses simple formula to calculate your BMI by giving your height and weight measurement.
