Write a function that calculates a user BMI. BMI = weight/height^{^2} Your code should request for the user's weight and height and then return their bmi to them. Your return statement should be "[BMI]kg/m^{^2}.

P.S: To simplify, use prompt and alert (depending on how your language calls it) when necessary and make sure your code is testable on the Google Chrome console (developer tool)

```
const weight = prompt("Enter your weight");
const height = prompt("Enter your height");
const bmiCalc = () => {
const bmi = weight / Math.pow(height, 2);
return `Your BMI is ${bmi}kg/m^2`;
};
alert(bmiCalc());
```

@"mccall"#p963 this looks interesting, this looks like ES 5 syntax right?

The solution in python is:
`def bmi_calc(weight, height):`

` bmi = weight / (height ** 2)`

` return f"Your BMI is {bmi} kg/m^2"`

`weight = float(input("Enter your weight: "))`

`height = float(input("Enter your height: "))`

`print(bmi_calc(weight, height))`

@"Simplythebest"#p969 the variable declaration and arrow function are part of ES6 rules, I believe
