" C program " Adding Questions and using Answeres in Calculations

I am trying to do a BMI calculator.

My code below asks for weight and height below and then returns the BMI result with the definition of your weight status.

I would like to be able to do the following

1. What is your name?
(Answer) xyz
2. How Old are you?
(Answer) 25
3. How much do you weigh in Kg's?
(Answer) 90
4. What is your height in Meters
(Answer) 1.8

Then from the code it takes this information and calculates the BMI and returns

"xyz you are 25 years old your BMI is (result of the calculation your status is (what ever corresponds to that result.

I would be most grateful if I can be pointed in the right direction to do this.

Many thanks

Rodney

Your program compiles and seems to execute.
What is your question?

Note. Your program will exit immediately after displaying the result.
See the following thread.

My question is

My code asks for weight and height below and then returns the BMI result with the definition of your weight status.

I would like to be able to do the following from the below questions

1. What is your name?
(Answer) xyz
2. How Old are you?
(Answer) 25
3. How much do you weigh in Kg's?
(Answer) 90
4. What is your height in Meters
(Answer) 1.8

Then from the code it takes this information and calculates the BMI and returns

"xyz you are 25 years old your BMI is (result of the calculation your status is (what ever corresponds to that result.
