Discussion on: Code Smell 62 - Flag Variables

[Michael Currin]

You suggested to restrict usage but didn't say how or provide and example.

Can I provide an alternative without the flag? Which is shorter and more readable.

while(true) {
  $elementSatisfies = doSomething();
  if (!$elementSatisfies) {
    break;
  }
}

Or even

while(doSomething()) {
  pass
}
