simple while loop not closing
I created a simple IF statement inside a while loop that can call 2 different methods depending on the key pressed.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
bool open = true;
void option1() {
std:: cout << "You selected option 1" << std:: endl << std:: endl;
}
void option2() {
std:: cout << "You selected option 2" << std:: endl << std:: endl;
}
int main() {
std:: string input;
while(open = true){
std:: cout << "Select an option, 1 or 2: ";
std:: cin >> input;
if(input == "1"){
option1();
open = false;
}else if(input == "2"){
option2();
open = false;
}else{
std:: cout << "Please, try again!" << std:: endl;
}
}
}

the purpose of the loop is to close after it selections either 1 or 2 but it seems to just keep looping back.
Any suggestions?
I've tried a do-while loop with the same result.
while (open == true)
= is the assignment operator. Every time your code hits this point it resets the value of open, even if you changed it.
A stupidly overlooked that.
Thanks abhishekm71!
