The source code to print person is taller, dwarf, or average height person is given below. The given program is compiled and executed successfully.

// Java program to read the height of the person,

// or average height person

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Scanner SC = new Scanner(System.in);

    double height = 0;

    System.out.printf("Enter Height (in centimeters): ");
    height = SC.nextDouble();

    if ((height >= 150.0) && (height <= 170.0))
      System.out.printf("Person is average height person");
    else if ((height > 170.0) && (height <= 195.0))
      System.out.printf("Person is taller");
    else if (height < 150.0)
      System.out.printf("Person is dwarf");
    else
      System.out.printf("Abnormal height \n");
  }
}

Output

Enter Height (in centimeters): 174.34
Person is taller

Explanation

In the above program, we imported the "java.util.Scanner" package to read input from the user. And, created a public class Main. It contains a static method main().

The main() method is an entry point for the program. Here, we read the height of the person in centimeters from the user using the Scanner class. Then we printed the appropriate message.
