Thread: What am I missing?

I am having an issue. When I run this, it misses going to the beg_balance and goes directly to asking for the nm_deposits. Then, it wont take numbers and I am not sure why

Code:

#include<stdio.h>




main ()
{
//Declare variables
  int i, s;
  int nm_deposits;
  int nm_withdrawals;
  float beg_balance;
  float end_balance;
  float deposit_ttl = 0;
  float deposits[5];
  float withdrawals[5];


//Begin taking information
  int x = 1, y = 1;


  
  char c;


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


  while (beg_balance <= -1)
    {
      printf ("Enter your current balance in dollars and cents:");
      scanf ("%f", &beg_balance);


      if (beg_balance <= -1)
	{
	  printf
	    ("*** Beginning balance must be at least zero, please re-enter. \n\n");


	  continue;
	}
      end_balance = end_balance + beg_balance;
    }


  //Get Number of Deposits
  do
    {
      printf ("\nEnter the number of deposits (0 - 5):");
      scanf ("%i", &nm_deposits);
      while ((c = getchar () != '\n') && c != EOF);
      //Error Check
      if (deposits < 0 || deposits > 5)
	printf ("*** Invalid number of deposits, please re-enter.\n");
    }
  while (deposits < 0 || deposits > 5);


  do
    {
      //Get Number of Withdrawals
      printf ("\nEnter the number of withdrawals (0 - 5):");
      scanf ("%i", &nm_withdrawals);
      while ((c = getchar () != '\n') && c != EOF);
      //Error Check
      if (nm_withdrawals < 0 || nm_withdrawals > 5)
	printf ("*** Invalid number of withdrawals, please re-enter.\n");
      printf ("\n");
    }
  while (nm_withdrawals < 0 || nm_withdrawals > 5);
  //Get Deposit Amounts
  while (x <= nm_deposits)
    {
      printf ("Enter the amount of deposit #%i:", x);
      scanf ("%f", &deposits[x]);
      //Error Check
      if (deposits[x] < 0)
	{
	  printf
	    ("*** Deposit amount must be greater than zero, please re-enter.\n\n");
	}
      else if (deposits[x] >= 0)
	{
	  end_balance = end_balance + deposits[x];
	  x++;
	  while ((c = getchar () != '\n') && c != EOF);
	}
    }


  printf ("\n");
  //Get Withdrawal Amounts
  while (y <= withdrawals)
    {
      printf ("Enter the amount of Withdrawal #%i:", y);
      scanf ("%f", withdrawals[y]);


      if (withdrawals[y] > end_balance)
  
	{
	  printf ("*** Withdrawal amount exceeds current balance, please re-enter.\n\n");
	}
      else if (withdrawals[y] <= end_balance)
	{
	  end_balance = end_balance - withdrawals[y];
	  y++;
	  while ((c = getchar () != '\n') && c != EOF);
	}
    }


  printf ("\n*** The closing balance is $%.2f ***\n", end_balance);


  if (end_balance >= 50000.00)
    printf ("*** It is time to invest some money! ***");


  else if (end_balance >= 15000.00 && end_balance <= 49999.99)
    printf ("*** Maybe you should consider a CD. ***");


  else if (end_balance >= 1000.00 && end_balance <= 14999.99)
    printf ("*** Keep up the good work! ***");


  else if (end_balance >= 0.00 && end_balance <= 999.99)
    printf ("*** Your balance is getting low! ***");
  //Final Calulations and financial advice
  end_balance = beg_balance + deposit_ttl;
  printf ("\n\nThe closing balance is %.2f\n", end_balance);
  if (end_balance >= 50000)
    printf ("*** It is time to invest some money!***\n\n");
  else if (end_balance >= 15000)
    printf ("*** Maybe you should consider a CD. ***\n\n");
  else if (end_balance >= 1000)
    printf ("*** Keep up the good work!***\n\n");
  else if (end_balance >= 0)
    printf ("*** Your balance is getting low!***\n\n");
  printf ("***** Bank Record ******\n");
  printf ("\nStarting Balance $%.2f\n", beg_balance);
  for (i = 0; i < nm_deposits; i++)
    {
      printf ("Deposit #%d : $%.2f\n", i + 1, deposits[i]);
    }
  printf ("\n");
  for (i = 0; i < nm_withdrawals; i++)
    {
      printf ("Withdrawal #%d : $%.2f\n\n", i + 1, withdrawals[i]);
    }
