Hi,
I am trying to apply different calculations depending on gender using ‘case do’ however I get variable "user_bmr" is unused. What am I not understanding?
def show(conn, %{"id" => id}, current_user) do
bmr = Cpm.get_user_bmr!(current_user, id)
case bmr.sex do
"Female" -> user_bmr = (9.99 * bmr.weight + 6.25 * bmr.height - 4.92 * bmr.age) - 161
"Male" -> user_bmr = (9.99 * bmr.weight + 6.25 * bmr.height - 4.92 * bmr.age) + 5
end
render(conn, "show.html", bmr: bmr, user_bmr: user_bmr)
end
Where Next?

caseis an expression that “returns” the last line evaluated. You don’t have to put theuser_bmrvariable in case, since, if I’m not mistaken, it only exists in the scope ofcase. Instead you can do it this way:borybar
Thank you for showing me the way! I understand now and it did help
