if else condition in blade file (laravel 5.3)

Question

I want to check if/else condition in my blade file. I want to check the condition $user->status =='waiting' as the code given below. Output returns correctly as I expected. But along with my output I caught curly braces {} printed. I want to remove curly braces in result. Is there anything wrong in my if condition ?

@if($user->status =='waiting')          {            <td><a href="#" class="viewPopLink btn btn-default1" role="button" data-id="{{ $user->travel_id }}" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal">Approve/Reject<a></td>          }          @else{            <td>{{ $user->status }}</td>          }          @endif

No curly braces required you can directly write

@if($user->status =='waiting')                <td><a href="#" class="viewPopLink btn btn-default1" role="button" data-id="{{ $user->travel_id }}" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal">Approve/Reject<a></td>          @else       <td>{{ $user->status }}</td>         @endif
