So for Java I have to answer the following question:
SUMMARY
The overall goal of this problem is to read a list of people and their medical profiles from a file, and write out a file of their calculated BMIs.
BMI = weight / height2 * 703
where weight is in pounds and height is in inches
INPUTS
The input file has the following fields:
Person ID #
Last name
First name
Height (inches)
Weight (lbs)
This input file has a header record (a first line describing the fields in the file). Each field is separated by a tab. Example files to use (medrec_mac.txt, medrec_pc.txt) will be included on Blackboard with this assignment.
PROCESSING
Your program should read each record of the file into a Person object, which should have properties corresponding to the input file fields. This class should also contain a method to calculate BMI.
OUTPUT
The output file (which your program should write) should have the following fields:
Person ID # (from the input file)
BMI (calculated based on the inputs)
Your output file, like the input file, should have a header record, e.g.,
PersonID BMI
as well as tab separated data records.
CLASSES
It is recommended your program be comprised of two classes and include the following methods:
class Person:
public Person(int id, String lastName, String FirstName,
double height, double weight);
public double calcBMI( );
class BmiCheck:
public static void processRecords(String filenameIn, String filenameOut);
public static void main(String args[]);
EXTRA CREDIT (2 points)
Have your program prompt for a cutoff BMI. Save to the file any BMIs above this cutoff.
I have absolutely no idea how to go about doing this thank you in advance for your help.
