1) Yes, the readability and transparency of the code is very important.
I hope i can attach my screenshot.
I worked on your code and i think it is much more readable this way as you can see on the pic.
2.) I don't know exactly why, but if you will give a starter value to your variables (this way: int top = 0; int middle = 0; int bottom = 0; ) then you won't get this error message, and your program will run.
