Jumping between functions

[Bavro3]

Hello! What i'd like to do here is for the program to jump back and forth from the House and Outside functions after pressing any key on the keyboard, and i have no idea how to make this work. I wrote this code just to give an idea on what i'm after. Any help is appreciated!

#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h>

using namespace std;

bool startoutside, starthome;


void setup(){
    starthome = false;
    startoutside = true;

}

void outside(){
    cout << "You're outside now" << endl;
    _getch();
    startoutside = false;
    starthome = true;
}

void home(){
    cout << "You're home now" << endl;
    _getch();
    starthome = false;
    startoutside = true;
}

int main()
{
    setup();
    if(startoutside == false){
        home();


    }
    if(startoutside == true){
        outside();

    }
    return 0;
}

Well, to jump back and forth between functions pressing enter (conio.h is not part of the C++ standard library):

#include <iostream>
bool starthome, startoutside;
void setup();
void outside();
void home();
int main()
{
        setup();
        while (true)
        {
                if (starthome == true)
                {
                        outside();
                }
                else
                {
                        home();
                }
                std::cout << '\n';
                std::cin.get();
        }
        return 0;
}
void setup()
{
        starthome = false;
        startoutside = true;
}
void outside()
{
        std::cout << "You're outside now";
        starthome = true;
        startoutside = false;
}
void home()
{
        std::cout << "You're home now";
        starthome = false;
        startoutside = true;
}

So i copied your code and tried running it, but it still keeps showing "You're outside now" after i press enter numerous times. Any idea why it's like this?

if (starthome == true) should be if (starthome == false)

Okay, that works. Thanks a lot guys!

Minimal version

#include <iostream>

void outside();
void home();


int main()
{
    bool starthome = false;
    
    while (true)
    {
        if ((starthome = !starthome))  // assignment intentional
            outside();
        else
            home();

        std::cout << '\n';
        std::cin.get();
    }
}

void outside()
{
    std::cout << "You're outside now";
}

void home()
{
    std::cout << "You're home now";
}
