Hi All,

Thanks for all your help and suggestions...I am re-posting my code, with proper formatting for your review. The code runs correctly, but the ending balance, after all the withdrawals, is incorrect and I can't find where I messed up. Any help would be most appreciated:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{

    /* Declare Array Variables */
    
    float deposits[50] = {0}; 
    float withdrawals[50] = {0};
    char  first_name[20] = {0};

    /* Declare Variables */

    int   num_withdrawals, num_deposits, x;
    float current_balance = 0;
    float start_bal;
    float total_deposits;
    float total_withdrawals;
    float balance;
    
    /* Output initial greeting */

    printf("Welcome to the Banking System.\n\n");

    printf("Please enter your first name: ");
     scanf("%s", first_name);

    printf("\nHello, %s.\n\n", first_name);

    /* Get Starting Balance */    
    
    do {
        
        printf("%s, Please enter your current balance in dollars and cents: "); /* Prompt user for current balance. */
        scanf("%f", &start_bal);

        if (start_bal < 0)
            printf("Invalid entry. Starting balance must be at least zero!\n\n");

    } while (start_bal < 0); /* End do-while */
    
    /* end function get starting balance */

    /* Get Number of Withdrawals */

    do {
        
        printf ("\nEnter the number of withdrawals: ");
        scanf ("%i", &num_withdrawals);
        printf ("\n");

        if (num_withdrawals < 0 || num_withdrawals > 50)
            printf ("Error: Number of withdrawals must be between zero and 50, please re-enter!\n\n");
    
    } while (num_withdrawals < 0 || num_withdrawals > 50); /* end do-while trap loop */

    /* end function number of withdrawls */

    /* Get Number of Deposits */

    do {
        
        printf ("Enter the number of deposits: ");
        scanf ("%i",&num_deposits);
        printf ("\n");
        
        if ( num_deposits < 0 || num_deposits > 50)
            printf ("Error: Number of deposits must be between 0 and 50, please re-enter!\n\n");
    
    } while (num_deposits < 0 || num_deposits > 50); /* end do-while trap loop */

    /* Get Each Deposit */

    for (x = 1; x <= num_deposits; x++)
    
    do {
        
        printf ("Enter the amount of deposit #%i: ", x);
        scanf ("%f",&deposits[x]);
        
        if (deposits[x] <= 0)
            printf ("*** Deposit amount must be greater than zero. Please re-enter! ***\n");
    
    } while (deposits[x] <= 0);
    
    total_deposits = total_deposits + deposits[x];
    current_balance = total_deposits + start_bal;     
    
    /* end for loop */

     total_withdrawals = total_withdrawals + withdrawals[x];
     
    /* end get each withdrawl */
     
    /* Check Balance */
     
    balance = current_balance - total_withdrawals + total_deposits;
     
    if (balance == 0)
        
        {

        }

    }   /*end-if*/

    printf ("\nStarting Balance:   $%13.2f\n\n", current_balance);
    
    for (x = 1; x <= num_deposits; x++)
        
        {
        
        printf ("Deposit #%i:          %13.2f\n", x, deposits[x]);

This is your first post -- so how can that be ???

>>The code runs correctly, but the ending balance, after all the withdrawals, is incorrect

Then it doesn't run correctly, now does it??


What compiler are you using? VC++ 2008 Express produces a couple warnings that are really errors. You need to correct them.
