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.
I'm due 6th January and my maternity leave starts Monday as I have a stand up job. I'm going to spend time with my LO when he's not in preschool, I bought a 1000 piece puzzle, going to do all my Christmas shopping early, sort out my LO's toys and wash all of the baby clothes.
