User Answers Specific Questions to Receive a Specfic Calculated Answer

I am creating an app that has a bmi (body mass index) calculator. It takes the sex of an individual, height, weight, and a few other things to calculate a number. Can I do this inside of Buzztouch somehow with plugins? I have the algorithm but have no idea how to implement it into my app. Any help would be great. Also, I am on a mac and this is for IOS.

You would need a custom plugin to do it natively. But you could also link to a html page that uses javascript. There's probably already a JS BMI calculator you could find.

Hi @nodotsallowed! Welcome to buzztouch! I totally agree with @Stobe...JavaScript would be the absolute best way to go here. Create an HTML screen, and then code the calculator the way you want. Here's a good example : http://www.dhtmlgoodies.com/index.html?whichScript=bmi_calculator Mark [Edit: I absolutely meant @Stobe and not @Fred...how I mixed those two up, I'll never know! Please accept my deepest apologies, @Stobe!]
