Welcome to the BMI Calculator project! This simple web application allows users to calculate their Body Mass Index (BMI) quickly and easily. BMI, or Body Mass Index, is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to adult men and women. It is a simple calculation that helps assess whether an individual has a healthy body weight for their height.
