    while (a==1)
    {
        sleep(2);
        player.sethealth((player.gethealth()) - (furbolg.getdamage()));
        cout << "The furbolg hits you for: " << furbolg.getdamage() << endl;
        cout << "Your health is: " << player.gethealth() << endl;

else if (input == "attack" or input == "hit")
        {
            if (fight == true)
            {
                furbolg.sethealth((furbolg.gethealth()) - (player.getdamage()));
                cout << "You deal " << player.getdamage() << " to the " <<      furbolg.getname() << endl;
                cout << "His health is: " << furbolg.gethealth() << endl;
                if ((furbolg.gethealth()) <= 0)
                {
                    cout << "You killed the " << furbolg.getname();
                }
            }
        }


The attack and hit is not working during battle. The furbolg keeps dealing damage to the player, but it doesn't allow me to type in attack. What can I do to fix this problem?

Your while loop in combat() depends on the value of a, yet it is always 1, thus the player always takes damage.

I tried to interrupt the loop with in a=0; but the commands in which the player enters is below the combat function. I can't move the combat function below the commands function or I will not be able to call it. I don't know what to do, could someone help?
