Personally, I like the style:

if(cond) {
	do_something;
} else {
	do_something_else;
}

This prevents an orphan 'else' from being left on the top of the next page
of listing, making the impression that the 'if' above it has no 'else' part.

The same is valid for

while(cond) {
	do_it;
}

and especially for

do {
	do_it;
} while(cond);
