A quantity known as the body mass index (BMI) is used to calculate the risk of weight-related health problems. BMI is computed by the formula

BMI = w/(h/100)^2

Where w is weight in kilograms and h is height in centimeters. A BMI of about 20 to 25 is considered “normal.” Write an application that accepts weight and height (both integers) and outputs the BMI. Use standard Java input/output (System.in with Scanner class and System.out).

The user’s weight and height must be read in and stored as integers. Calculate the BMI (a floating-point number) and display the result. In the calculation, the height is divided by 100 to convert from centimeters to meters. You must define a constant to represent this conversion value (100.0).

Please help me.
