2. The Harris-Benedict equation estimates the number of calories your body needs to maintain

your weight if you do not exercise. This is called your basal metabolic rate, or BMR.

The calories needed for a woman to maintain her weight is:

BMR = 655+ (4.3 * weight in pounds) + (4.7 * height in inches) - (4.7 * age in years)

The calories needed for a man to maintain his weight is:

BMR = 66+ (6.3 * weight in pounds) + (12.9 * height in inches) - (6.8 * age in years)

A typical chocolate bar contains around 230 calories. Write a program that allows user to input

their gender, weight in pounds, height in inches, and age in years. For genders not entered as

'M' or 'F', the BMR should be calculated using the average of the two formulae given above.

The program should then output the number of chocolate bars (rounded to the nearest integer)

that should be consumed to maintain one's weight.
