I am currently working on a technical assessment for a BMI calculator, but I am facing a challenge in implementing the formula. The instructions for calculating BMI are as follows:
Step 1:
The user's height is given in feet, so it needs to be converted to meters first. HINT: Multiply the height by 0.3048.
Step 2:
BMEye uses an advanced algorithm to calculate BMI! BMEye considers certain countries with healthy diets such as Chad, Sierra Leone, Mali, Gambia, Uganda, Ghana, Senegal, Somalia, Ivory Coast, and Israel. If the user is from any of these countries, then the calculated BMI value is reduced by multiplying it by 0.82.
Last step:
By following the instructions and hints above, create a function computeBMI that takes the user's weight, height, and country as inputs to calculate and return the BMI value.
What I have attempted:
I tested the code in my local editor (Sublime Text) and it accurately calculates the BMI. However, when I upload the code to Google grade tracker, which is the platform for the assessment, it gives an error stating "Your BMI calculation is incorrect!"
Can anyone assist me in resolving this error? Below is a function that accepts the user's object containing height, weight, and country to facilitate the calculations.
const computeBMI = ({weight, height, country}) => {
const lowBMIcountries = ["Chad", "Sierra Leone", "Mali", "Gambia",
"Uganda", "Ghana", "Senegal", "Somalia", "Ivory Coast", "Israel"];
const bmiRate = 0.82;
let convertHeight = height * 0.3048;
let bmiValue = weight / Math.pow(convertHeight,2);
if (lowBMIcountries.includes(country)) {
bmiValue *= bmiRate;
}
return Math.round(bmiValue, 2);
};
