You should be doing this in the model, not controller. If you want to do this everytime the user record is saved, then define a before_save callback in your model and add this in the method
def udpate_result self.result = self.height*self.weight end Note: You will have to convert height and weight to integer/float if you have not defined those columns as just string in the database.
