Creating a border using ncurses in c++

The biggest question is if it's worth it to use a useless ifif statement to make the xx and yy variables local away from the main statement.

        //Unconventional part, make it so that x and y are local variables
    if(true){
            int x,y;
            //set x and y to be the width + height of the terminal
            getmaxyx(stdscr,y,x);
            for(int i = 0; i < x; i++){
                    //top border
                    mvaddch(0,i,'#');
                    //bottom border
                    mvaddch(y - 1,i,'#');
            }
            for(int i = 0; i < y; i++){
                    //left border
                    mvaddch(i,0,'#');
                    //right border
                    mvaddch(i,x - 1,'#');
            }
    }
