A "flag" is just something (a variable, a memory location, etc.) that
stores some binary-ish information (e.g. true/false, yes/no, 1/0).
It is a fairly general term and is used all over the place in the
computing world. Some programmers have extended the meaning of "flag"
to include more than binary data, e.g. a set or a range of values.
Hi all,
Well, so is there any online resource whereby I can read up
on "FLAG" ???Or any idea how should I go about creating the memory location to
store the binary-ish information (e.g. true/false, yes/no, 1/0)?
Hope to get some help soon...thnx.
Irin.
