Opening and closing braces for if, for, or while statements should always be used, even if said statement has only a single body line.

Braces help improve the uniformity, and therefore readability of code.

More importantly, when inserting an additional statement in a body containing only a single line, it is easy to forget to add braces when the indentation tends to give a strong (but probably misleading) guide to the structure.
