rr-formula

why is the formular i created in my r-code not working

Help pls! I ve trying to create this BMI formular to run as code. Not sure what I am doing wrong. Still a newbie in this world of coding. Here's what I attempted

weight= 79
height= 179
BMI<= as.formula((weight/(height)^2)*703)
print BMI
Solution

  • Is this what you're trying to do?

    weight <- 79
height <- 179
BMI <- (weight/(height)^2) * 703
print(BMI)
[1] 1.73331

    Why is the number "703" in there?

    Shouldn't it be:

    weight <- 79
height <- 179
BMI <- (weight/(height/100)^2)
print(BMI)
[1] 24.65591
