    bank program not subtracting from account when i choose withdraw

    i have created a bank program with a do while loop switch statement and functions. everything works except when i choose to withdraw it isnt subtracting instead its giving me my account balance without taking out the withdrawal can anyone suggest why?


    Code:
     #include <stdio.h>
    
                char displaymenu();
                float getdeposit(float balance);
                float  getwithdrawal(float balance);
                void displaybalance(float );
    
    
                   int main()
                {
    
                    char  choice;
                    char  transaction='y';
                    float deposit=0;
                    float withdrawal;
                    float balance;
                  
    
    
                  do  {
                    choice=displaymenu();    
                
    
    
                     switch (choice)
                   {
                       
                         
                        case 'd':case 'D':
                           
                           balance=getdeposit(balance);  
                            break;
    
                         case 'w':case 'W':
                                   withdrawal=getwithdrawal(balance); 
                                 break;
                        
                           case 'b':case 'B':
                             printf("Checking your account balance\n");
                             displaybalance(balance);
                             break;
    
                         case 'q':case 'Q':
                           printf("Quit\n");
                           printf("Thankyou");
                            break;

                   }
                    printf("\n\n\n DO U WISH TO HAVE ANOTHER TRANSCATION?(y/n): \n");

    Compare the assignments.
    balance=getdeposit(balance);
    vs.
    withdrawal=getwithdrawal(balance);
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
