Hi!
So I've been working on this question for hours! And Python keeps giving
me an error saying that my syntax for BMI is wrong. I really can't
understand why.
So send us the full error text not a summary.
If Python reports a syntax its usually recorded at the point immediately
after the error so you may have to look at the line before.
So this is what I have so far:
w = raw_input('Please give your weight in lbs: ')
h = raw_input('Now your height in feet and inches: ')
h. split("'")
ft, inches = h. split("'")
h_sum = float(12*int(ft)) + (int(inches.strip('"'))
count the parens in the last expression...
BMI = float(703*w)/float(h_sum*h_sum)
print 'Your BMI is: ', BMI
