What are your favorite C++ Coding Style idioms [closed]

Answer 1

I tend to put an else on all of my ifs.

if (condition)
{
    complicated code goes here
}
else
{
    /* This is a comment as to why the else path isn't significant */ 
}

Even though it annoys my coworkers. You can tell at a glance, that I considered the else case during coding.
