Although using braces is a a common practice, it is sometimes very misleading and it can take hours to figure out what is wrong.
A simple way to avoid such problems is to use the curly braces ({}) as needed to avoid ambiguity.
Below is a simple code sample that does not have braces, and hence, there are problems during compilation.
class UsingBraces{ public static void main(String args[]) { UsingBraces usingBraces = new UsingBraces(); usingBraces.proceed(); } private void proceed() { for (int i=0;i System.out.println("i: " + i); System.out.println("i: " + 5); //In the above line, the statement System.out.println("i: " + 5); is not part of the loop. //If you try replacing the value 5 as i, the compiler itself throws an error indicating that the variable i cannot be identified. }}/*Expected output:
[root@mypc]# java UsingBracesi: 0i: 1i: 5*/
