In what cases, it is possible to omit parentheses in the if construct and will it be correct?

Question

Java

Good afternoon guys!
Tell me, is the code below aesthetically correct? Or does the aesthetics of writing code say that you should always put brackets? Or again, it's all a matter of taste?

public class TestII {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    int a = 10;
    int b = 11;
    if (a < b)
      System.out.println("True.");
    else
      System.out.println("False");
  }
}

Answer 1

By convention, parentheses should always be:
Note:if statements always use braces {}. Avoid the following error-prone form:
if (condition) //AVOID! THIS OMITS THE BRACES {}!statement;

IMHO:
But there may be exceptions:
- personal project
- agreements within the team.
And these exceptions work until someone else starts working or reading with this code - in this case, it is advisable to adhere to the standards.
