Create Python programs to do the following:

1. The calculation for body mass index (BMI), depends on the units given for weight and height.
Metric calculation: weight is given in kilograms and height in metres and the formula is as
follows:

Imperial calculation: weight is given in pounds and height in inches and the formula is

The meanings of the scores are as follows:

 Less than 18.5  underweight

 18.5 – 25  normal
 Over 25 but less than 30  overweight
 30 and over  obese

Instructions

Write a python program to include your own functions in its design. It should still ask the user for
their name, a system of measurement to use (imperial or metric), their height, their weight, and then
calculates their BMI. Output should be a message to the user reiterating their statistics and stating
their BMI and what it means. TIP: You must use functions where appropriate and define them
at the top of your program.

Sample output:
Donald, with a height of 72 inches and a weight of 170 pounds, you
have a BMI of 23. This is considered normal.
