My Java Project — BMI Calculator
August 15, 2025
This is my second blog post, and it’s about my very first Java project: a simple BMI Calculator.
💡 What it does
The program asks for height and weight, then calculates the Body Mass Index (BMI) using the formula:
After the calculation, it tells you if you are:
- Underweight
- Normal weight
- Overweight
- Obese
🎯 Why I built it
I wanted to escape the “tutorial hell” and create something from scratch.
It’s a small project, but it was my first real step in Java outside of following tutorials.
📚 What I learned
- How to use Scanner to take input from the user
- How to apply if / else if / else conditions
- How to structure a simple program in Java

This project may be small, but for me it’s proof that I can build something on my own.
Next step: bigger projects, more experiments, and steady improvement 🚀
