[Tutor] constants, flags or whatever

[Jim Morcombe]

In a program, I want to set some kind of variable or object to indicate what "mode" the program is currently in.
What is the most elegant way of doing this?

constant: moving = "m"
constant: inserting = "i"
constant:jumping = "j"
.

action = moving
.

.
if action == jumping:
        jumpSomewhere()
elseif action == moving:
        moveSomewhere()
elseif action == inserting:
        insertSomething()
