Getting Error - Variable May Not Have Been Initialized

I know what the error means but I don't think initializing the variable will make my code work as intended so I'm having a little dilemna here... here's the code and I'll highlight the part that is said to be not initialized:

Java Code:

import java.util.Scanner;
public class ItemCost {
public static void main (String []args){
int i=1,item=1,e=1, f=1, g=1;
int items, d ;
double gst, qst, subt, Tot = 1, PriceItems ;

[Code] ....

So I'm supposed to get the following output :

Java Code:

Please input the amount of items bought 2
Please input the price of the item 1 1
Please input the price of the item 2 2
Please input the rate of GST in % 20

Please input the rate of QST in % 18 mh_sh_highlight_all('java');

HOWEVER my program doesn't seem to add input of item 1, and 2 if I initialize subt= 0 initially. It'll only take the last value inputted in the loop. By the way, the increments are counters to count the amount of errors the user might input by accident ( or whatever). Some people have been pointing it out as useless but that's the only way I found it to work.
