Report Abuse. You can use a flag in any programming language. It's just a variable to hold the state of a condition. Most are boolean (basically, on or off, 0 or 1) but can be any value. A simple flag could be, if a certain condition is true then flag = 1. Then later in the program the value of flag can be tested.eport Abuse. You can use a flag in any programming language.

The way I interpreted it, was that you can leave when you are about 25 weeks pregnant. I think you get something like 15 or 17 weeks pregnancy leave, and then 35 weeks maternity leave. If you save them up, though, you get almost a full year with baby.
The shortest maternity leave you can take is 2 weeks. This goes up to 4 weeks if you work in a factory. If you want to take more than a year off. You donât have a right to more than a year of maternity leave, but your employer might agree to let you take extra time away from work.
