Java one line if statement [duplicate]

Question

I am using if condition without braces in java something like

if(somecondition)
//Only one line Business logic

but some told use braces always even one line statement something like this

if(somecondition){
//Only one line Business logic 
}

What is the better way according to java sandard?

Answer 1

That's a matter of taste. I would use braces or else no braces but write all code in one line to improve readability.

Also you might consider using a ternary operator

booleanExpression ? value1 : value2

Answer 2

In addition to @radai answer, if you are a real evil mind, when you see a if with no braces you can do something that will make you ennemies by adding a semi-colon on the same line of the if but at the 800th column of the line(or something).

like

if(condition) /*a loooot of whitespace*/ ;
    //Only one line Business logic that will get executed whatever is the condition

This is why i prefer to use braces and recommend people to use them
