Practicing using a "flag": please point in right direction

Hi! So I actually have that already done but I'm trying to practice using a flag (following the practice problems in the book) so I'm attempting to revise my code so it adds a flag.

Here is my code with a break:

prompt = "\nWhat is your age?"
prompt += "\n(Enter 'quit' when you are finished.)" 

while True:
    age = input(prompt) 
    
    if age == 'quit': 
        break
    age = int(age)
    if age < 3:
        print("\nYour ticket is free!") 
    elif age < 12: 
        print("\nYour ticket is 10$!") 
    else:
        print("\nYour ticket is 15$!")

while True: age = input("\nWhat is your age?\n(Enter 'quit' when you are finished.)" ) if age == 'quit': break age = int(age) if age < 3: print("\nYour ticket is free!") elif age < 12: print("\nYour ticket is 10$!") else: print("\nYour ticket is 15$!") 
Hi sorry! First, ty for your reply! I just posted below but I do already have a version of this with break. I'm just trying to practicing using a flag now. In addition, what do you mean by it's more common to skip a flag? Flags are not commonly used when coding? Is that a correct understanding of what you said? Thank you so much again!
