But if the closing curly brace marks the end of the if part of an if
else statement,
the else keyword has to be on the same line as the closing brace.
The code will not work if the else is on the next line AFAIK.

It seems to me that the opening an dosing curly brace should go on
their own lines to allow the reader to immediately know what is
encompassed in the curly brace:
In my view, that's the purpose of indenting - you see scope from
indenting. Again, that's just my personal preference, and while I can
make my students follow it, I don't expect the rest of the world to
fall in line (although it would be nice ;)
