I was always taught multiple return statements like that are frowned upon. to be honest, I'm not exactly sure what's considered acceptable in a professional environment. The code (if someone else is wondering) will still work perfectly, its just a matter of style. | ||

#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { double w, h; double a; cout << "Please enter your weight (in KG) and height (in meters)." << endl; cin >> w >> h; if (w <= 0 || h <= 0){ cout << "Invalid input." << endl; return 0; } else { a = (w/(h*h)); cout << "Your Body Mass Index is " << a << "." << endl; } if ( a > 0 && a < 20 ) cout << "You have a low BMI." << endl; else if ( a > 20 && a < 25 ) cout << "You are within the healthy BMI range. Congratulations!" << endl; else cout << "You have exceeded the healthy BMI range." << endl; return 0; } And still, if I input two negative values, "You have a low BMI." still shows. What's the problem here? | ||

I guess you maybe just pasted the wrong source? | ||

I'm amazed at its ability to interpret equalities and inequalities... The problem with your code is that you don't terminate when you detected invalid inputs. The program continues to run and since two negatives give you a positive, you get "You have a low BMI". After you terminate, you no longer need to check w > 0 and h > 0, as you have already done so. #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { double w, h; double a; cout << "Please enter your weight (in KG) and height (in meters)." << endl; cin >> w >> h; a = (w/(h*h)); if (w > 0, h > 0) cout << "Your Body Mass Index is " << a << endl; else { cout << "Invalid input." << endl; return 0; } if (0 < a < 20 cout << "You have a low BMI." << endl; else if (20 < a < 25 cout << "You are within the healthy BMI range. Congratulations!" << endl; else cout << "You have exceeded the healthy BMI range." << endl; return 0; } | ||

I was wondering but, it's okay to have many 'return 0; ' statements? | ||

There is no way you get anything beyond "invalid input" if you ran the code below... if (w <= 0 || h <= 0){ cout << "Invalid input." << endl; return 0; } catches any negative inputs. + Show Spoiler + #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { double w, h; double a; cout << "Please enter your weight (in KG) and height (in meters)." << endl; cin >> w >> h; if (w <= 0 || h <= 0){ cout << "Invalid input." << endl; return 0; } else { a = (w/(h*h)); cout << "Your Body Mass Index is " << a << "." << endl; } if ( a > 0 && a < 20 ) cout << "You have a low BMI." << endl; else if ( a > 20 && a < 25 ) cout << "You are within the healthy BMI range. Congratulations!" << endl; else cout << "You have exceeded the healthy BMI range." << endl; return 0; } | ||

Compiler = Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition I'm using this one #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { double w, h; double a; cout << "Please enter your weight (in KG) and height (in meters)." << endl; cin >> w >> h; if (w <= 0 || h <= 0){ cout << "Invalid input." << endl; return 0; } else { a = (w/(h*h)); cout << "Your Body Mass Index is " << a << "." << endl; } if ( a > 0 && a < 20 ) cout << "You have a low BMI." << endl; else if ( a > 20 && a < 25 ) cout << "You are within the healthy BMI range. Congratulations!" << endl; else cout << "You have exceeded the healthy BMI range." << endl; return 0; } The one I posted after that was the original before I modified it | ||
