Other good constructs:

• Keep control info and only control info in for loop
• Use whitespace to separate ideas (after commas, parts of conditionals)
• Use idiomatic if-elseif-else statements where possible
• Avoid "magic numbers" (generally anything other than 0 or 1)
• End line with an operator if line breaks are necessary; use indentation for continuation
• Keep methods in some logical order

Comments

Internal documentation that will always be up-to-date

Should not replace good coding, but complement it.
