    Default Need help with a "missing return statement"

    Maybe I'm missing something, but the return is right there, plain as day...

    This is the typical bank account program when learning about classes.

    package lab03;
     
    public class Account 
    {
        public double balance;
     
        public Account(double amount)
        {
            balance = amount;
        }
        public Account()
        {
            balance = 0.0;
        }
     
        public void deposit(double amount)
        {
            balance += amount;
        }
     
        //THIS IS WHERE I NEED HELP
        public double withdraw(double amount) 
        {
            if (balance >= amount) 
            {
                //it says there's a missing return statement, but it's right here
                return balance -= amount;
            }
     
            else
            {
                System.out.println("Insufficient funds");
            }
        }
     
        public double getBalance() 
        {
            return balance;
        }
     
    }

    What happens if balance is less than amount?
