so… I’ve gotten a basic calculator to work, but when it comes to this more complex problem… im not sure if it’s possible, I keep getting wrong answers and have tried multiple different combinations of code for this to work, but my brain is just melting over trying to figure this out… I do fitness, not this stuff, so it’s new territory lol
Equation is: 66.47 + (6.24 × weight in pounds) + (12.7 × height in inches) − (6.75 × age in years)
using 160 for weight, 70 inches for height and 30 for age
I should be getting 1692 but keep getting 3,012
from my understanding I need weight AND what the weight equation equals (6.24Xweight) so 2 variables for each number (for slider to show value to player, and the ‘hidden’ number which is the BMR equation for total BMR later)
is this even possible, or am I going to run myself into insanity here? i’ve gotten close (500 off) but can not get the correct answer… change things around and get a negative number or one that is so far off that I have NO idea why…
am I adding too much? too little? everything else is going smoothly but this has slowed me down
