I was just curious what coding standards people followed.
I for one use the following:
- Brackets ALWAYS go on the next line. For instance:
    int main() 
    {
        //Blah...
    }
- I never use code folding. (Yes my IDE's do support it (Xcode and Eclipse). 
- Put related functions/methods single-spaced, otherwise double space. Here is an example: 
    int foo = 0;
    printf("%d",foo);
those are related while these are not:
    printf("Hello, World!");
    return(0);
- I don't put - elsestatements on the same line as the closing bracket for the preceding- ifstatement.
- Most of the time in Java if a program needs multiple - try- catchstatements I will just put the whole thing in one- try- catch.
