How would I indicate the result?

# include<iostream>

using namespace std;

int main ()

{
int card1,card2, card3, result;

cout<<"Enter the value of the first card: ";
cin>>card1;
cout<<"Enter the value of the second card: ";
cin>>card2;
cout<<"Enter the value of the third card: ";
cin>>card3;
cout<<"Your score is: ";

if (card1==1 && card2==1)
cout<<23;

else if (card1==1)
cout<<11+ card1 + card2;

else if (card2==1)
cout<<card1+ 11 + card3;

else if (card3==1)
cout<<card1+ card2+ 11;

else if (result <= 21)
cout<<"Sorry you lose!"<<endl;
else if (result > 21)
cout<<"Congratulations you win!"<<endl;

return 0;

the result variable is being used without being initialized

You need to assign something to result, it will always be empty, until you put something in it. So you will have to change the last 2 'else if' statements, and you could do the calculations "11+card1+card2" into a different int, instead of in the cout function so something like this:

	if (card1==1 && card2==1)
	{
		add0=23;
		cout<<23;
		result=add0;
	}	

	else if (card1==1)
	{

		cout<<add1;
		result=add1;
	}

	else if (card2==1)
	{
		add2=card1+11+card3;
		cout<<add2;
		result=add2;
	}

	else if (card3==1)
	{	
		add3=card1+card2+11;
		cout<<add3;
		result=add3;
	}

	if (result <= 21) // I changed this to an if statement, because it doesn't go along
        // with the other else if statements above
	cout<<"Sorry you lose!"<<endl;
	else if (result > 21)
	cout<<"Congratulations you win!"<<endl;
	else
	cout<<"there was an error" // I added this so it could tell you if there was a problem
        // with the above two statements.

	return 0;
}


This code is not guaranteed to work, I didn't run it, just added onto it, I haven't even compiled it either, I will in a bit and tell you if it comes out.
