How are these ints uninitialized?

[sb99]

So, bear in mind I am a beginner so I am not to worried about the layout as of right now. Everything up until int matchesWon; works fine. However I get the error that int matchesWon and Draw are uninitialized, even though they are layed out in the same format as the previous ints, which I assigned a value to with cin, how can this be?

[code]
// ConsoleApplication4.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>


int main() {

int scoreteam1;
int scoreteam2;
std::cin >> scoreteam1;
std::cout << "Team one scored " << scoreteam1 << " goals" << std::endl;
std::cin >> scoreteam2;
std::cout << "Team two scored " << scoreteam2 << " goals" << std::endl;

if
(scoreteam1 == scoreteam2)
std::cout << "The match was a draw.";
else if (scoreteam1 > scoreteam2)
std::cout << "Team one won.";
else if (scoreteam1 < scoreteam2)
std::cout << "Team two won.";
std::cin.get();
std::cin.get();

{
int matchesWon;
int matchesDrawn;
int points = (matchesWon * 3) + (matchesDrawn * 1);
std::cout << "How many matches has your team won this season?";
std::cin >> matchesWon;
std::cout << "How many matches has your team drawn this season?";
std::cin >> matchesDrawn;
std::cout << "Your team has " << points << " so far this season";
std::cout << "How many points matches does your team have left to play?" << std::endl;


}

}

Do you see that highlighted section? That is the difference, you assigned values to those variables but not to Won and Draw.

But I also use cin for matchesWon and matchesDrew. That is why I'm confused about how they are uninitialized. If anything I assume my use of more { brackets complicates things, cause I'm not really sure how they are meant to be used.

Yes but not until after you have already used those variables in a calculation. Perhaps you need to move that calculation to after you get the information from the user?

Ah I found the problem, it was so obvious lol. int points was calling on the values of the two other ints before they were defined, I get it now.... I just had to define int points after the two cin statements. It now looks like this and works as intended:

[code]

int matchesWon;
int matchesDrew;
std::cout << "How many matches has your team drawn this season?" << std::endl;
std::cin >> matchesDrew;
std::cout << "How many matches has your team won this season?" << std::endl;
std::cin >> matchesWon;
int points = (matchesWon * 3) + (matchesDrew * 1);
