C++ Programming Errors: C4703, C4700 - c++

Question

i am relatively new to programming, i just learned c++ and i am getting 2 errors for a HW assignment from school;
Error 2 error C4700: uninitialized local variable 'searchValueptr' used Line 83
and
Error 3 error C4703: potentially uninitialized local pointer variable 'createdArray' used
Line 70
I cannot for the life of me figure out why or how to fix it can some one help me please.

either use
searchValueptr = &searchValue;
or send the pass the address of searchValue
searchElement(createdArray, size, &searchValue);
break;
