Write a function calculate_bmi:bmi/1 that takes a person (the record defined in src/person_record.hrl) as argument and calculate her body mass index (BMI).

Then, write calculate_bmi:classify/1 to classify a person according to her BMI:

• underweight: when the BMI is less than 18.5.

• normal: when the BMI is greater than 18.5 and less than 25.

• overweight: when the BMI is between 25 and 30.

• obese: when the BMI is greater than 30.

Examples

1> calculate_bmi:bmi(#person{name = "Maria", weight = 60, height = 1.6}).
%% 23.437499999999996

2> calculate_bmi:classify(#person{name = "Maria", weight = 60, height = 1.6}).
%% normal
