How to activate and deactivate a gameObject

Hi I have a project where I want to deactivate a gameObject when I click the “m” key and reactivate it when I click it again, but the code I’m using makes perfect sense but for some reason won’t activate the gameObject once its deactivated.

Here’s the code I’m using:

function Update () {
	
	if(Input.GetKey("n")) {
	// Deactivates the game object.
	gameObject.SetActive (false);

	}

	if(Input.GetKey("n") && gameObject.SetActive == false) {
		Debug.Log("fire");
	gameObject.SetActive (true);

	}
	
}

Well, once you deactivate it, naturally the code won’t work after that. You can activate/deactivate it it from another script (which stays active). Another possibility is to disable the renderer, in case you’re just trying to deactivate that and not the entire object.
