I’d like to see one like this for conditional structures: if <condition> then -- do if true else -- do if false end if
I always try to use the “full” form of if-then-else. It solves lots of confusion when you end up with nested if-thens. I teach my students to do it this way as best practice, and I think it reinforces the idea of a completely formed and terminated structure.
