For one thing, a variable whose name is flag tells me little about what its purpose is. For another, code that has flag variables can almost always be better expressed without them. It's hard to explain; you should just look at an overwhelming number of examples.

@cHao That's true, but write_to_file() has the same weakness with long lines. It's unfortunate that the C standard does not include the getline() function of GNU libc.
