HUSE FILES AND STRINGS TO MAKE THIS PROGRAM?

HUSE FILES AND STRINGS TO MAKE THIS PROGRAM?Calculating the body mass index (BMI) is one method of assessing the obesity of an individual, taking into account both weight and height. This measure was created in the 19th century by Adolphe Quetelet and is still used today. The BMI of an individual can be calculated with the following formula:

BMI = 703 * weight(lb)/(height)^2(in)
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) lists the following categories of BMI values:
Underweight = <18.5
Normal weight = 18.5-24.9
Overweight = 25-29.9
Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater

Create a program which reads a file called persons.txt. This text file contains a series of records (one per line) each of which has three values separated by spaces (name, height in inches, and weight in pounds). Once the file is read, your program should report the name BMI value, and NIH classification for each individual to a file called bmi.txt.
To assist in your processing, create a struct called Person that stores the record data for one individual. As each record is read from the file, create a variable of struct Person and populate it with the three data values of the record. Finally, store that variable into an array of Person.
A sample input file of four records might look like so

Homer 72 200
Marge 65 120
Bart 48 75
Lisa 45 60

ask the user for the size and weight
ex.
lisa is 45 tall
weighs 60lbs
