Hi All,

I need help figuring out how I can call the various functions in this program from main. I've figured out as much of the code I could, but now I'm stumped. Any help would be appreciated.

#include <stdio.h>

    float deposits[50] = {0}; 
    float withdrawals[50] = {0};
    char  first_name[20] = {0};
    int   num_withdrawals, num_deposits, x;
    float start_bal;
    float current_balance = 0;
    float total_deposits = 0;
    float total_withdrawals = 0;
    float balance;
    float get_startingbalance(void);
    float getCntOfWithdrawls();
    float getCntOfDeposits();
    float getEachDeposit();
    float getEachWithdrawl();
    float checkBalance();
    float calcAndDisplayBalance();
    float displayBankRecord();
    
int main (void)

{

    /* 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 */

    float get_start_balance() {
    
        float start_bal;
    
    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); 
    
    return start_bal;
    
}   /* end function get starting balance */
    
    /* GET NUMBER OF WITHDRAWALS */

    float getCntOfWithdrawls() {

If you don't know how to use functions I would google it or read a book.

A function is a block of code that has a name and it has a property that it is reusable i.e. it can be executed from as many different points in a C Program as required.

Function groups a number of program statements into a unit and gives it a name. This unit can be invoked from other parts of a program. A computer program cannot handle all the tasks by it self. Instead its requests other program like entities - called functions in C - to get its tasks done. A function is a self contained block of statements that perform a coherent task of same kind

The name of the function is unique in a C Program and is Global. It neams that a function can be accessed from any location with in a C Program. We pass information to the function called arguments specified when the function is called. And the function either returns some value to the point it was called from or returns nothing.
We can divide a long C program into small blocks which can perform a certain task. A function is a self contained block of statements that perform a coherent task of same kind.

Just a simple example of calling a function:

get_start_balance();

To call a function, you just need to use the function name, and pass whatever parameters needed (in the above case the function doesn't take in any parameters).

Actually, you are already calling functions. "printf" and "scanf" are functions too.
