Generally, the braces should be omitted if the body is only a single 
line.  An exception is sometimes made for symmetry if another branch 
uses more than one line.  So

     if (foo)
         bar();

but

     if (foo)
     {
         bar();
     }
     else
     {
         baz();
         qux();
     }
