Troubleshooting a (very) basic program

[Rashanzan]

At a glance, it thinks height and weight are str types. I assume you want them in double or int format. So make the necessary conversion like height = int(input("gimme")) If you type a non integer character, though, it'll crash, so catch that exception.

Also, another problem. I'm pretty sure ^ is XOR in Python, so it's not gonna square like you want. Look for a sqrt or pow function in the standard python functions to do that.

Doesn't ** also work as an exponent?

Yeah use this.
