this is a peice of code written in matlab.
while(flag==1)
flag=0;
disp('end of loop');
end

I bet a lot of people don't know flag is the name of a built-in function - I didn't. So it's best to use some other name instead of flag, like keepLooping, or keepGoing, or something. And your point of initializing flag prior to entering the loop is really the key issue here (because you could actually overwrite the flag function with your own variable of the same name if you wanted to, though it's not advised).
