How to access private members

[akif13]

Hi. I received errors such as float bmi is a private members. How can I access the private members in the main? Thanks in advance

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

class BMI
{
private:
    float height, weight, bmi;

public:
    BMI()
    {
        height = 1.0;
        weight = 1.0;
    }

    void set(float a, float b)
    {
        height = a;
        weight = b;
    }

    void calculate()
    {
        bmi = ((weight / 1000) / (height * height));
    }

    void display()
    {
        string status;

        if (bmi < 18.5)
        {
            status = "Underweight";
        }

        else if (bmi > 18.5 && bmi < 24.9)
        {
            status = "Normal";
        }

        else if (bmi > 25 && bmi < 29.9)
        {
            status = "Overweight";
        }

        else
        {
            status = "Obese";
        }

        cout << status;
    }
};
int main()
{
    BMI c;

    cout << "This program will calculate your body mass index." << endl;
    cout << "Enter your height in meter (m) unit : ";
    cin >> c.height;
    cout << "Enter your weight in kilogram (kg) unit : ";
    cin >> c.weight;
    cout << "Your bmi is : " << c.bmi << endl;
    c.display();
    return 0;
}

Don't. An you don't need to. Collect the height and weight in local variables, then call BMI::set () to update the BMI object.

Also, a person with BMI of 18.5 is not obese.
