Sure! Here's a Python code snippet for a BMI (Body Mass Index) calculator with arguments:

def calculate_bmi(weight, height):
    """
    Calculate the Body Mass Index (BMI) using weight and height.

    Args:
        weight (float): The weight of the person in kilograms.
        height (float): The height of the person in meters.

    Returns:
        float: The calculated BMI value.
    """
    bmi = weight / (height ** 2)
    return bmi

def interpret_bmi(bmi):
    """
    Interpret the BMI value and provide a corresponding message.

    Args:
        bmi (float): The calculated BMI value.

    Returns:
        str: The interpretation message.
    """
    if bmi < 18.5:
        return "Underweight"
    elif bmi >= 18.5 and bmi < 25:
        return "Normal weight"
    elif bmi >= 25 and bmi < 30:
        return "Overweight"
    else:
        return "Obese"

# Example usage
weight = 70.5  # in kilograms
height = 1.75  # in meters

bmi = calculate_bmi(weight, height)
interpretation = interpret_bmi(bmi)

print(f"Weight: {weight} kg")
print(f"Height: {height} m")
print(f"BMI: {bmi:.2f}")
print(f"Interpretation: {interpretation}")
Python

This code defines two functions: calculate_bmi and interpret_bmi. The calculate_bmi function takes the weight and height as arguments and returns the calculated BMI value. The interpret_bmi function takes the BMI value as an argument and returns a corresponding interpretation message.

The example usage section demonstrates how to use these functions. It calculates the BMI using the given weight and height, interprets the BMI value, and prints the results.

Please note that this code assumes the weight is in kilograms and the height is in meters.
