Ideal weight program

Make a program that takes the height (in meters) and gender (Male or Female) of a person and to calculate and display your ideal weight using the following formulas:

Male (72.7 * height) - 58
Female (62.1 * height) - 44.7

Execute

Clone main branch from c-cpp-projects.

Access this folder on terminal:

  cd c-cpp-projects/c_exercises/swim_category

Run with GCC compiler

With GCC compiler installed run the following commands:

Compile the cpp file:
```
gcc if_ideal_weight.cpp -o execute -lm
```
Run the execute compiled file:
```
./execute
```

Run with Docker

With Docker installed run the following commands:

Build the container and images:
```
docker build -t gcc-docker .
```
Run the container with the built image gcc-docker:latest:
```
docker run -it gcc-docker:latest
```

Code

Code in C.

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
  float height, weight;
  char gender;
  printf("\nType height in meters:\n");
  scanf(" %f",&height);

  do{
    printf("\nType gender M or F:\n");
    scanf(" %c",&gender);

    switch (gender)
    {
    case 'M':
      weight = (72.7 * height) - 58;
      printf("\nIdeal weight:\n%.3f\n",weight);
      return 0;
      break;

    case 'F':
      weight = (62.1 * height) - 44.7;
      printf("\nIdeal weight:\n%.3f\n",weight);
      return 0;
      break;

    default:
      printf("\nInvalid Gender %c (type M or F)\n", gender);
      break;
    }
  }while(1);
}
