This question does not make any sense.

Programmers often use flags as a variable name where they are using the individual bits of the variable to represent different things.

Usually flags are used to tell you if you entered in some parts of your code.

If (Var>1)
Flag=1;
else
Flag=2;

with this little example, you can understand much easier. Hope you understand
